2 White Shadows Songtext
von 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, a plan

All this noise, I′m waking up
All this 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 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 wanna 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 this 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 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
Tide of the human races
Oh, an answer now is what I need
See it in the new sun rising
See it break on your horizon
Oh, come on, love, stay with me
