Fix You
Straightnochaser Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse.
And the tears come streaming down your face
Oh when you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
And high up above earth or down below (And high up above earth or down below)
When you're too in love to let it go (When you're too in love to let it go)
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth (Just what you're worth)
Just what you're worth (Just what you're worth)
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try
To fix you
Tears stream,
Down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream
Down your face and I
(I will try) tears stream
(I will try) down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes (I will try)
(I will try) tears stream
(I will try) down your face and I
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to (I will try)

When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you give your all but still don't achieve your goal
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you attain your desire but it doesn't fulfill your true necessities
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
When you're utterly exhausted but unable to rest
Stuck in reverse.
At a standstill, unable to move forward
And the tears come streaming down your face
When sadness overwhelms you and tears flow uncontrollably
Oh when you lose something you can't replace
When you lose something or someone that's irreplaceable
When you love someone but it goes to waste
When you give your heart to someone but it's not reciprocated
Could it be worse?
Is there anything more devastating than this?
Lights will guide you home
Hope and guidance are still present to lead you back to your path
And ignite your bones
Renew your spirit and passion
And I will try to fix you
I'll be there to help you heal and recover
When you're too in love to let it go
When you're holding on to someone you love so much you can't bear to let them go
But if you never try you'll never know
If you don't attempt to take risks, you'll never discover your true potential
Just what you're worth
Your true value and worth will become clear through your efforts
Tears stream, Down your face
Emotions can be so intense that they overflow with tears
When you lose something you cannot replace
When something or someone is gone, gone forever and you can never get it back
And I will try
I'll always try to be there for you
To fix you
To be the one to help you repair and recover from your troubles
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
I commit to learning from the missteps I've made to never repeat them

I prefer this version to the Coldplay version honestly. I listen to this song whenever I need to think about my life choices and it always makes me feel better to just escape and really listen to all the parts of this arrangement. Beautifully done :)
