Under The Tracks Lyrics
There is a place, it has a face, and he was walking out the door
His mother said she was ashamed cause he had no place to go
He was afraid and I was fine, he wanted peace of mind
Three times done, and you're gone, and you're gone
You are free, you are free, it's a long way home
What have we done, was it wrong, was it wrong?
Is it me, can't you see, it's a long way home
There is a snake, he will awake and get you off the floor
You'll start to shake, your friends will sweat, you are high you will forget
She is afraid cause you are dying but you have got your peace of mind
Three times done, and you're gone, and you're gone
You are free, you are free, it's a long way home
What have we done, was it wrong, was it wrong?
Is it me, can't you see, it's a long way home
And I won't make your dreams come true
It's on you
You've got to change your lonely ways
To make it through
You've found a place in outer space, and you don't hurt anymore
Your lovely hand has slipped away, and there is nothing left to say
And we were borne of yellow sand, there is no plan, there is no end
Three times done, and you're gone, and you're gone
You are free, you are free, it's a long way home
What have we done, was it wrong, was it wrong?
Is it me, can't you see, it's a long way home
All night long, I was wrong, I was wrong
It was me, can't you see, it's a long way home?
It took a million miles to see her smile
But don't touch, it's too much
She'll break you and she'll send you home
Afraid of love, afraid you might get hurt
Well good luck, don't get stuck
Turn around before you can't go back
His mother said she was ashamed cause he had no place to go
He was afraid and I was fine, he wanted peace of mind
You are free, you are free, it's a long way home
What have we done, was it wrong, was it wrong?
Is it me, can't you see, it's a long way home
You'll start to shake, your friends will sweat, you are high you will forget
She is afraid cause you are dying but you have got your peace of mind
You are free, you are free, it's a long way home
What have we done, was it wrong, was it wrong?
Is it me, can't you see, it's a long way home
It's on you
You've got to change your lonely ways
To make it through
Your lovely hand has slipped away, and there is nothing left to say
And we were borne of yellow sand, there is no plan, there is no end
You are free, you are free, it's a long way home
What have we done, was it wrong, was it wrong?
Is it me, can't you see, it's a long way home
All night long, I was wrong, I was wrong
It was me, can't you see, it's a long way home?
But don't touch, it's too much
She'll break you and she'll send you home
Afraid of love, afraid you might get hurt
Well good luck, don't get stuck
Turn around before you can't go back

Heeey. I just downloaded this song, and it's pretty good! It's catchy-- Wonder what their other stuff is like. :)
so sad, so awesome though
quite different from their usual sound
This is one of the most amazing songs ever. For when you take the wrong roads in life and you have to backtrack to find your way back home again and carry on the big road of life. Everyone makes mistakes, I feel like this is the kind of mistake where you have your eyes on all the wrong things and you figure out that you were wrong, and you left the road you needed to travel and you just need to start again and find your way back to peace of mind. Absolutely love this song, beautiful..and hopeful.
i swear i herd this song on the oc
i remember - this song was on the o.c.
if you download it, its credited as coldplay though. who is this song about though?
the song was in the movie Oragne County, not the TV show, well I guess it could have been on the TV show as well, but the OC reference is about the movie. Good song though.
love this song really nice and calming. I think it's about how you're leaving home because you want some adventure and to know you're living a real life (peace of mind), but then you get there and home's alot better, so you need to know when to turn back (was it wrong?/ it's a long way home).
also, their other songs are really good too
coldplay redid this song, right??
