COLDPLAY LYRICS - White Shadows

"White Shadows"



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...
