Taken from the Speed of Sound CD Single, ‘Things I don’t Understand’ is typically Coldplay, in terms of taking a darkish theme and joining it with a joyous, melody. I love it!

How tides control the sea, and what becomes of me
How little things can slip out of your hand
How often people change, no two remain the same
Why things don’t always turn out as you planned

These are things that I don’t understand
Yeah, these are things that I don’t understand

I can’t, and I can’t decide
Wrong, all my wrong from right
Day, all my day for night
Dark, all my dark for light
I live, but I love this life

How infinite is space, and who decides your fate
Why everything will dissolve into sand
How to avoid defeat, when truth and fiction meet
Why nothing even turns out how you planned

These are things that I don’t understand
Yeah, these are things that I don’t understand

I can’t, and I can’t decide
Wrong, all my wrong from right
Day, all my day for night
Or dark, all my dark for light
I live, but I love this life
