[Intro: Chris Martin & Brian Eno]
Two, three, four
That's a bit fast
One, two, three
[Verse 1]
They were sitting, they were sitting on the strawberry swing
Every moment was so precious
They were sitting, they were talking on the strawberry swing
Everybody was for fighting
Wouldn't wanna waste a thing
[Chorus]
Cold, cold water, bring me 'round
Now my feet won't touch the ground
Cold, cold water, what you say?
When it's such, it's such a perfect day
It's such a perfect day
[Verse 2]
I remember we were walking up to strawberry swing
I can't wait 'til the morning
Wouldn't wanna change a thing
[Chorus]
People moving all the time
Inside a perfectly straight line
Don't you wanna just curve away?
When it's such, it's such a perfect day
It's such a perfect day
[Outro]
Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Now the sky could be blue, I don't mind
Without you, it's a waste of time
Could be blue, I don't mind
Without you, it's a waste of time
Now the sky could be blue, could be grey
Without you, I'm just miles away
Well, the sky could be blue, I don't mind
Without you, it's a waste of time
