Something Just Like This Lyrics

[Verse 1: Chris Martin]
I've been reading books of old
The legends and the myths
Achilles and his gold
Hercules and his gifts
Spider-Man's control
And Batman with his fists
And clearly I don't see myself upon that list

[Pre-Chorus: Chris Martin]
But she said, "Where d'you wanna go? How much you wanna risk?"
I'm not looking for somebody with some superhuman gifts
Some superhero, some fairytale bliss
Just something I can turn to, somebody I can kiss
I want something just like this

[Chorus: Chris Martin]
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo, doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Oh, I want something just like this
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo, doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Oh, I want something just like this
I want something just like this

[Verse 2: Chris Martin]
I've been reading books of old
The legends and the myths
The testaments they told
The moon and its eclipse
And Superman unrolls
A suit before he lifts
But I'm not the kind of person that it fits

[Pre-Chorus: Chris Martin]
She said, "Whered 'you wanna go? How much you wanna risk?"
I'm not looking for somebody with some superhuman gifts
Some superhero, some fairytale bliss
Just something I can turn to, somebody I can miss

[Chorus: Chris Martin]
I want something just like this
I want something just like this

[Bridge: Chris Martin]
Oh, I want something just like this
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo, doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Oh, I want something just like this
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo, doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

[Pre-Chorus: Chris Martin]
Where d'you wanna go? How much you wanna risk?
I'm not looking for somebody with some superhuman gifts
Some superhero, some fairytale bliss
Just something I can turn to, somebody I can kiss
I want something just like this

[Chorus: Chris Martin]
Oh, I want something just like this
Oh, I want something just like this
Oh, I want something just like this

What was it like working with Chris Martin?

There’s a spirit of dance music that you can find in his lyrics, a tone, the same feeling you get in special dance songs. We only hung out one time, but it was sick to chill with one of our idols and hear his opinions. We delved into his world.

How did this collaboration come about?

We had heard through the grapevine that Coldplay listened to our music sometimes before they went on stage. So we reached out with the big old question mark about potentially working together.

How was the song written?

[Our and Coldplay’s manager] end up setting up a studio session with us and Chris [Martin]. And he just came in and we played those chords — I think I played those chords for like 2 hours — and he just grabbed the mic — I’ve never seen this before, ever — grabbed the mic and plugs it into the PA, we...
