Coldplay - Everglow Lyrics

Coldplay Lyrics

"Everglow"

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
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
And I know that you're with me
And the way you will show
And you're with me wherever I go
'Cause you give me this feeling, this everglow

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

Chris Martin, the frontman, explained the idea behind this song during an interview with Zane Lowe, by saying, "Whether it's a loved one or a situation or a friend or a relationship that's finished, or someone's passed away — I was thinking about, after you've been through the sadness of something, you also get this everglow. That's what it's about."

The word "everglow" represents memory and loss as an ever-lasting glow. Chris Martin learned that word from a surfer guy when they were together in the ocean one day and liked the way it sounded.

Gwyneth Paltrow, Chris Martin's former girlfriend, provided additional vocals on this track despite separating from him in March 2014. Martin told Rolling Stone, "We just did it in the studio one day. It was just a friendly kind of thing."
