White Shadows Lyrics
Coldplay
When I was a young boy I tried to listen
And I wanna feel like that
Little white shadows, blink and miss them
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 the space I'm taking up
All this sound is breaking up
Ohhhh...
Maybe you get what you wanted
Maybe you stumbled 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 keep it
In a permanent state
A permanent state
When I was a young boy
I tried to listen
Don't you wanna feel like that?
We're part of the human race and
All of the stars and the outer space
We're part of the system plan
All this noise, I'm waking up
And all the space, I'm taking up
I said I cannot hear you, you're breaking up
Maybe you get what you wanted
Maybe you stumbled 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 keep it
In a permanent state
A permanent state
Swim out on a sea of faces,
The tide of the human races,
An answer now is what I need.
See it in a new sun rising
See it break on your horizon
Oh, come on love, stay with me
And I wanna feel like that
Little white shadows, blink and miss them
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 the space I'm taking up
All this sound is breaking up
Ohhhh...
Maybe you get what you wanted
Maybe you stumbled 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 keep it
In a permanent state
A permanent state
When I was a young boy
I tried to listen
Don't you wanna feel like that?
We're part of the human race and
All of the stars and the outer space
We're part of the system plan
All this noise, I'm waking up
And all the space, I'm taking up
I said I cannot hear you, you're breaking up
Maybe you get what you wanted
Maybe you stumbled 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 keep it
In a permanent state
A permanent state
Swim out on a sea of faces,
The tide of the human races,
An answer now is what I need.
See it in a new sun rising
See it break on your horizon
Oh, come on love, stay with me
