Lyrics

Something Just Like This - The Chainsmokers/Coldplay

I’ve been reading books of old

The legends and the myths

Achilles and his gold

Hercules and his gifts

Spiderman’s control

And Batman with his fists

And clearly I don’t see myself upon that list

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

Doo doo doo doo doo doo

Doo doo doo doo doo

Oh I want something just like this

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

She said where’d you wanna go

Somebody I can miss

Where’d you wanna go
