coldplay - famous old painters (2020) lyrics

[verse 1]
and when you were born you were given a name
down from your father and his was the same
your history marked and your future arranged
rounded, i don’t care what your promise is

[verse 2]
they say the world’s gonna end, and the news is all bad
baby, that’s bullsh+t, don’t listen to that
didn’t stop leonardos or lilian brandts

[chorus]
so i’m up on the rooftop, painting you roses
screaming your name out and hoping you’ll notice
i’m hoping you’ll notice, and know what my name is
if i could be just like those famous old painters

ooo, ooo

[verse 3]
and when we were born you were given a name
down from your fathеr and his was in chains
and marcus mosiah said they’ve stolen our car
but wе’re still gonna make it, i know we are

[chorus]
so i’m up on the rooftop, painting you roses
screaming your name out and hoping the pose is
a statue of venus, one for the ages
there on the page with those famous old painters
[bridge]
how many times have you written your name?
hoping that lie, will your destiny change?
basquiat told michelangelo, “aim,”
and start over and over again
and if only vincent could come back and see it’s a starry night
slow though the day is, the sun and i work in the sudden light

[outro]
so i’m up on the rooftop, naked and nameless
starting from nowhere and aiming for greatness
we come with the darkness, we come with the light
but you’re someone, you’re someone, and hey, you’re alright
but you’re someone, you’re someone, and hey, you’re alright
but you’re someone, you’re someone, and hey, you’re alright
