White Shadows

Coldplay · X&Y [2005]

When I was a young boy

I tried to listen

And I want to feel like that

Little white shadows blink and miss them

Part of a system I am

If you ever feel like

Something is missing

Things you never understand

Little white shadows sparkle and glisten

Part of a system, a plan



All this noise I'm waking up

All the space I'm taking up

All this sound is breaking up

Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh



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've seen 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 a system ,A plan



All this noise I'm waking up

All the space I'm taking up

I cannot hear you're breaking up

Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh



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've seen it

Maybe if you say it you'll mean it

Maybe you'll find you're completed

In a permanent state a permanent state



Swim out on the sea of faces

The tide of the human races

An answer now is what I need

See it in the new sun rise and

See it breaking on your horizon

Come on love

Stay with me
