Trivia
- It has been said by the tabloid media that this song was about Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow's relationship. But since, when played live, Chris Martin places an apple on his piano, it has been speculated that this song is really about his daughter, Apple.

Lyrics
What if there was no light. Nothing wrong, nothing right. What if there was no time? And no reason or rhyme? What if you should decide That you don't want me there by your side. That you don't want me there in your life. What if I got it wrong? And no poem or song.. Could put right what I got wrong, Or make you feel I belong What if you should decide That you don't want me there by your side That you don't want me there in your life. Oooooh, that's right Let's take a break jump over the side Oooooh, that's right How can you know it if you don't even try? Oooooh, that's right Every step that you take Could be your biggest mistake It could bend or it could break But that's the risk that you take What if you should decide That you don't want me there in your life. That you don't want me there by your side. Oooooh, that's right Let's take a break jump over the side. Oooooh, that's right How can you know it when you don't even try? Oooooh, that's right Oooooh, that's right Let's take a break jump over the inside Oooooh, that's right You know that darkness always turns into light Oooooh, that's right.
