Things that make me really happy (despite being in the middle of exam week), Volume 1:

Coldplay's "Kingdom Come." Kelly has been trying to convince me of the brilliance of this band for about 18 months, and I didn't really understand it until I heard this song.

Steal my heart
And hold my tongue
I feel my time
my time has come.
Let me in
Unlock the door
I never felt this way before.

The wheels just keep on turning
The drummer begins to drum
I don't know which way I'm going
I don't know which way I've come.

Hold my hand
And inside your hands
I need someone
Who understands
I need someone
Someone who heals
For you I've waited all these years

For you I'd wait
till kingdom come
Until my day
my day is done
and say you'll come
and set me free
Just say you'll wait
you'll wait for me.

In your tears
And in your blood
In your fire
And in your flood
I hear you laugh
I heard you sing
I wouldn't change a single thing

The wheels just keep on turning
The drummers begin to drum
I don't know which way I'm going
I don't know what I'll become

For you I'd wait
till kingdom come
until my days
my days are done.
say you'll come
and set me free
just say you'll wait
you'll wait for me.

just say you'll wait
you'll wait for me.


I'm not sure if Chris Martin wrote this song for God or Gywneth, but it doesn't really matter to me. I feel like I spend most of my life waiting for something to begin--this song helps me remember that some things are worth waiting for.
