Coldplay - Speed Of Sound lyrics

How long before I get in

Before it starts before I begin

How long before you decide or

Before I know what it feels like

Where to, where do I go?

If you never try 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 start 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

All the inventors could never design

The buildings that you put up

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

While 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

All those signs I knew what they meant,

some things you can invent

Some get made and some get sent ooh

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
