Coldplay – Moses

"Moses" as written by Guy Rupert Berryman, William Champion, Christopher Anthony John Martin and Jonathan Mark Buckland....
Come on now, don't you want to see?
This thing that's happening to me
Like Moses has power over sea
So you've got power over me

Come on now, don't you want to know?
You're a refuge, somewhere I can go
You're air that, air that I can breathe
Cause you're my golden opportunity

And oh, oh yes I would
If I only could
And you know I would
And baby I, oh baby I
I wish

Come on now, don't you want to see?
Just what a difference you've made in me
I'll be waiting oh no matter what you say
Cause I've been waiting for days, days, days

And oh, oh yes I would
If I only could
And you know I would
And baby I, oh baby I
I wish
I wish

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
If the sky's gonna fall down, let it fall on me
If you're gonna break down, you can break on me
If the sky's gonna fall down, let it fall on me
If it's gonna rain down, it can rain on me
It can rain on me

    General Commentwhat a piece of work, it's another one of those great coldplay 'anthems'. Yeah, you're right, chris martin said this was about gwyneth. It's about him being at her mercy, and if she ever needed him he would always be there:
    "if the sky's gonna fall down let it fall on me
    if you're gonna break down you can break on me"
