Trying hard to speak and
Fighting with my weak hand
Driven to distraction
Its all part of the plan
When something is broken
And you try to fix it
Trying to repair it
Anyway you can
I dive in at the deep end
You become my best friend
I want to love you but I don't know if I can
I know something is broken
And I'm trying to fix it
Trying to repair it
Anyway I can
Ooh...
You and me are floating on a tidal wave
Together
You and me are drifting into outer space
And singing
Ooh...
You and me are floating on a tidal wave
Together
You and me are drifting into outer space
You and me are floating on a tidal wave
Together
You and me are drifting into outer space
And singing
Ooh...
Fighting with my weak hand
Driven to distraction
Its all part of the plan
When something is broken
And you try to fix it
Trying to repair it
Anyway you can
I dive in at the deep end
You become my best friend
I want to love you but I don't know if I can
I know something is broken
And I'm trying to fix it
Trying to repair it
Anyway I can
Ooh...
You and me are floating on a tidal wave
Together
You and me are drifting into outer space
And singing
Ooh...
You and me are floating on a tidal wave
Together
You and me are drifting into outer space
You and me are floating on a tidal wave
Together
You and me are drifting into outer space
And singing
Ooh...

One of the best songs on X&Y, in my opinion. It seems like it's about someone who's dealing with a situation where he's in love or infatuated with someone, but isn't sure if he can 'love her' because of certains things that stand in the way. It could be physical distance between the two of them, differences between them that make it impossible, or the fact that he might have done something to hurt her or cause her to lose trust in him, which he hopes to repair/fix.
Regardless, he's trying to make up for the situation in his head as he drifts away in thoughts of both of them 'floating on a tidal wave' and 'drifting into outer space', as if these limitations/restrictions could just disappear out of the picture.
