Everglow - Coldplay

“Everglow” by Coldplay

is about the feeling of warmth or happiness

that comes with the sadness you feel 

when you think about a relationship, situation, or friendship

that has now ended.

oh they say people come, say people go

this particular diamond was extra special

and though you might be gone, and the world may not know

still I see you, celestial

like a lion you ran,  a goddess you rolled

like an eagle you circled, in perfect purple

so how come things move on, how come cars don’t slow

when it feels like the end of my world

when I should but I can’t let you go?

but when I’m cold, cold

oh when I’m cold, cold

there’s a light that you give me when I’m in shadow

there’s a feeling you give me, an everglow

like brothers in blood, sisters who ride

and we swore on that night we’d be friends til we die

but the changing of winds, and the way waters flow

life as short as the falling of snow

and now I’m gonna miss you I know

but when I’m cold, cold

in water rolled, salt

I know that you’re with me and the way you will show

and you’re with me wherever I go

and you give me this feeling this everglow

oh- I I I I

what I wouldn’t give for just a moment to hold

yeah I live for this feeling this everglow

so if you love someone, you should let them know

oh the light that you left me will everglow
