White Shadows Lyrics - X&y - 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 

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 the system, a plan 

All this noise, I'm waking up 

All this space I'm taking up 

I cannot hear, you're breaking up, whoa 

Maybe you'll get what you wanted 

Maybe you'll stumble upon it 

Everything you ever wanted 

In a permanent state 

Photos 

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 

Swimmin' 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
