[Verse 1: Chris Martin] Just because I'm losing Doesn't mean I'm lost Doesn't mean I'll stop Doesn't mean I'm across Just because I'm hurting Doesn't mean I'm hurt Doesn’t mean I didn’t get what I deserved No better and no worse
[Chorus: Chris Martin] I just got lost Every river that I tried to cross Every door I ever tried was locked Oh and I'm just waiting 'til the shine wears off
[Verse 2: Chris Martin] You might be a big fish In a little pond Doesn't mean you've won 'Cause along may come A bigger one
[Chorus: Chris Martin + JAY-Z] And you'll be lost Every river that you tried to cross Every gun you ever held went off Oh and I'm just waiting 'til the firing stopped Oh and I'm just waiting 'til the shine wears off (Geah, just waiting 'til the— Yeah, uh-huh, I gotchu, uh, yeah)
“Lost!” originally appeared on Coldplay’s fourth album, Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends. This later version, “Lost+,” appears on the Prospekt’s March EP and features a verse from Jay-Z (who is good friends with Coldplay’s front man Chris Martin). There was slight controversy amongst the Coldplay fandom about Jay’s cursing (particularly his use of “niggas”).
