So, I was listening to the song Square One, by Coldplay, and I thought it was kinda like a song about a new companion. So, I have added comments (in red):
You're in control, is there anywhere you wanna go? // Yes, please, any planet! Almost anytime! Almost anywhere!
You're in control, is there anything you wanna know? // Hmmm... how about what a Dalek is. Or a TARDIS.
The future's for discovering // Do I need explain this line?
The space in which we're travelling // Or the time. Either way.
From the top of the first page
To the end of the last day
From the start in your own way // Running away (Rose and Amy and probably more I haven't seen), appearing a million places in the Doctor's timestream (Clara), accidentally appearing on the TARDIS (Donna) and so on.
You just want somebody listening to what you say
It doesn't matter who you are // There's been everyone! Random people! The girl who waited! The impossible girl! The most important woman in the universe! And a lot more!
It doesn't matter who you are
Under the surface trying to break through
Deciphering the codes in you
I need a compass, draw me a map // Or maybe some time coordinates?
I'm on the top, I can't get back // There have been a few episodes where people can't come back: mainly when companions leave. But there have been several times when the Doctor (and whoever happens to be with him at the moment) are separated from the TARDIS.
Whoa whoa
The first line on the first page
To the end of the last page
From the start in your own way
You just want somebody listening to what you say
It doesn't matter who you are
It doesn't matter who you are
You just want
Somebody listening to what you say
Oh, you just want somebody listening to what you say
It doesn't matter who you are
It doesn't matter who you are
Is there anybody out there who
Is lost and hurt and lonely too // Like the Doctor? Yes, there probably are.
Are they bleeding all your colours into one?
and if you come undone
As if you've been run through
Some catapult it fired you
You wonder if your chance will ever come
Or if you're stuck in square one
// I'll just have one line for most of that verse: the Doctor knows that companions have to leave. Square one is like wherever they end up when they leave. I think.
Anyway, that's just me.
