Speed Of Sound Lyrics - X&y - Coldplay

How long before I get in? 

Before it starts, before I begin 

How long before you decide? 

Before I know what it feels like 

Where to? Where do I go? 

If you've never tried then you'll never know 

How long do I have to climb 

Up on the side of this mountain of mine? 

Look up, I look up at night 

Planets are moving at the speed of light 

Climb up, up in the trees 

Every chance that you get is a chance you seize 

How long am I gonna stand 

With my head stuck under the sand? 

I'll stop before I can stop 

Or before I see things the right way up 

All that noise and all that sound 

All those places I got found 

And birds go flying at the speed of sound 

To show you how it all began 

Birds came flying from the underground 

If you could see it then you'd understand 

Ideas that you'll never find 

Or the inventors could never design 

The buildings that you put up 

Or Japan and China, all lit up

The sign that I couldn't read 

Or a light that I couldn't see 

Some things you have to believe 

But others are puzzles, puzzling me 

All that noise and all that sound 

All those places I got found 

And birds go flying at the speed of sound 

To show you how it all began 

Birds came flying from the underground 

If you could see it then you'd understand 

Oh, when you see it then you'll understand 

(Drums and guitar) 

All those signs I knew what they meant 

Some things you can't invent 

Some get made and some get sent, ooh 

Birds go flying at the speed of sound 

To show you how it all began 

Birds came flying from the underground 

If you could see it then you'd understand 

Oh, when you see it then you'll understand
