COLDPLAY - WHITE SHADOWS LYRICS

White Shadows Lyrics

When I was a young boy I tried to listen
And I wanna feel like that
Little white shadows blink and I missed'em
Part of a system I am

If you ever feel like something's missing
Things you'll never understand
Little white shadows sparkle and glisten
Part of a system plan

All this noise, I'm waking up
All this space I'm taking up
All this sound is breaking up

Maybe you'll get what you wanted
maybe you'll stumble upon it
everything you ever wanted
in a permanent state

Maybe you'll know when you see it
maybe if you say it you'll mean it
and when you find it you'll keep it
in a permanent state
a permanent state

When I was a young boy I tried to listen
Don't you want to feel like that

You're part of the human race
All of the stars and the outer space
Part of the system plan

All this noise, I'm waking up
All this space I'm taking up
I cannot hear, you're breaking up

Maybe you'll get what you wanted
Maybe you'll stumble upon it
Everything you ever wanted
In a permanent state

Maybe you'll know when you see it
Maybe if you say it, you'll mean it
And when you find it you'll keep it
In a permanent state
A permanent state

Swimming on a sea of faces
Tired of the human race,
So, an answer now is what I need...

I see it in the new sun rise and
See it break on your horizon
Oh come on love stay with me...

Guys, new update: I am getting really good at singing this song. I get all the notes and yah. I sing my own version though. Replace 'boy' with 'girl' and you got it basically. Heh heh.

On the lyrics: you got one line wrong. Heheh. Here's the correctness:

So you stuffed 2 lines. Whatever.
Also, you stuffed the grammar in the verse.
Okay, not by much. But neh.
Not gonna hold it against you.

Originally, I only bought X and Y for Talk and Speed of Sound. Now that I actually sit down and listen to the whole tihng, I realise that I have another song to add to my ultra-long list of faves....

Yes, my favorite splaylist contians over 50 songs.

NOTE TO ALL OF YOU WHO USE WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER: Apparently the X and Y CD comes along with a player program, which is why it runs VERY badly on WMP. You have been told. Now stop cleaning the disk.

I read somewhere that this is the only song of Coldplay's that is about Gwenyth.

"Why post the wrong lyrics?" I think a more pertinent question would be, "Why post the RIGHT lyrics as a comment right down at the bottom of the screen, which will eventually disappear if enough people reply, when you could have just corrected them and got rid of all the wrong ones?" Answer that one, genius.

Why post the wrong lyrics?

When I was a young boy I tried to listen
And I wanna feel like that
Little white shadows blink and I missed em
Part of a system I am

If you ever feel like something's missing
Things you'll never understand
Little white shadows sparkle and glisten
Part of a system plan

All this noise, I'm waking up
All this space I'm taking up
All this sound is breaking up

Woahhh ohhh

Maybe you'll get what you wanted
maybe you'll stumble upon it
everything you ever wanted
in a permanent state

Maybe you'll know when you see it
maybe if you say it you'll mean it
and when you find it you'll keep it
in a permanent state
a permanent state

When I was a young boy I tried to listen
Don't you want to feel like that

You're part of the human race
All of the stars and the outer space
Part of the system plan

All this noise, I'm waking up
All this space I'm taking up
I cannot hear, you're breaking up

Woahh ohhh

Maybe you'll get what you wanted
Maybe you'll stumble upon it
Everything you ever wanted
In a permanent state

Maybe you'll know when you see it
Maybe if you say it, you'll mean it
And when you find it you'll keep it
In a permanent state
A permanent state

Swimming on a sea of faces
A tide of the human race
So, an answer now is what I need...

I see it in the new sun rising
I see it break on your horizon
Oh come on love stay with me...

Now that's better
