Nor More Keeping My Feet On The Ground
Coldplay Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes I wake up when I'm falling asleep
I think that maybe the curtains are closing on me
But I wake up, yes I wake up smiling

[Chorus]
So what I feel fine
I'm okay, I've seen the lighter side of life
I'm alright I feel good
So ill go, ill try to start moving

Sometimes I wake up and I'm falling asleep
But I've got to get going, so much that I wanted to do
But I wake up smiling

And this could be my last chance
Of saving my innocence
And this could be my last chance
No more keeping my feet on the ground

Sometimes I feel the chance is surprising
Surprisingly good to be moving around
And I move, and I wake up smiling

[Chorus]

And this could be my last chance
Of saving my innocence
And this could be my last chance
No more keeping my feet on the ground

And there's nothing to keep them
Nothing to keep them down




And there's nothing to keep them
There's nothing to keep them down.
