We Never Change
Coldplay Lyrics

I want to live life
Never be cruel
I want to live life
Be good to you

I want to fly
And never come down
And live my life
And have friends around

We never change do we, no, no
We never learn do we

So I want to live in a wooden house
I want to live life always be true
I want to live life and be good to you

I want to fly and never come down
And live my life
And have friends around

We never change do we
No no
We never learn do we

So I want to live in a wooden house
Where making more friends would be easy

Oh and I don't have a soul to save
Yes and I sin every single day

We never change do we
We never learn do we

So I want to live in a wooden house
Where making more friends would be easy
I want to live where the sun comes out

I want to live life and never be cruel
And I want to live life and be good to you
And I want to fly and never come down
And live my life and have friends around
We never change, do we?
No, no
We never learn, do we?
So I want to live in a wooden house
I want to live life and always be true
And I want to live life and be good to you
And I want to fly and never come down
And live my life and have friends around
We never change, do we?
No, no

So I want to live in a wooden house
Where making more friends would be easy
Oh, and I don't have a soul to save

We never learn, do we?
So I want to live in a wooden house
Where making more friends would be easy
I want to live where the sun comes out

A shadow of you, peeking by the edge of my sight
Under the cloak of darkness you hide
Cant see through
A dream to good to be true
A dream that will never come true
As the shove came down to push i let go of my hold on you
Just as the shadow fades into the blue
A little love couldn't come through
A little love couldn't be sent to you
Just a black shadow of you comforting the darkness
Comforting the lies i am told to
Said enough
Spoke all i could but nothing can change what you go through
Nothing change these feelings that come through
Hoping I'll find you
Hoping I'll see you through
Till the end you'll be with me too
Till the end waking up to you
Till the end desire will burn every layer through and through
Flesh and bone cant quite make out the decision that lead me to believe in future i saw with you
Hurt mind aching body every night cries for relief from you
Heal my soul
Let me love you
Let me know myself through you
Let me be good to you
I wanna fly on with you
Sing along to your tune
Shine on in the eyes of whats true
I wanna live this life and spend everyday by your side
Never make you cry, never go without you
But i dont know if you know what i am going through
Will i ever change like the winds
Carry me with you
Nothing left for me to stay here without you

I don’t think it’s underrated, maybe newer Coldplay fans don’t appreciate it as much but it got plenty of acclaim immediately after release.

try and listen to the whole parachutes album while being during sunset on top of a mountain or alone in the beach while beholding the beauty of this world. That's why coldplay's unique: it makes you think really deeply about everything singing your deepest desires and meanwhile its relaxing chords and Chris's chilling-raw voice make you forget all your biggest problems and dream about our lives making us appreciate what we have

interestingly i like to think the reason the album is called parachutes is because it represents soft descent, we listen to music to ease the blows to our lowest point

My mom sent me this song. She told me how it reminded her of me and my family. My siblings, my father, her siblings , and my grandparents. She told me how it had her in tears, because she isn’t ready to die. It broke my heart, especially since I’m always helping her, her caretaker. My mom is so strong, and I almost lost her 5 times in the last two months. I love you mom, so much. I can’t lose you, I can’t imagine it mama..

I remember crying to this song 6 years ago for weeks on end late at night missing the person who had my heart, even though we were broken up. We both felt that way but were afraid to admit. Then one night we did and it was so magical, so intense. Fast forward 6 years and we’re broken up again. We’re grown up now, grew apart but the love is still there ❤️ on both sides. Who knows .... maybe we’ll meet again. I hope so

Black Corner Records

Damn. I'm looking at the comments and realizing how this album seems like it was made for the broken and alone and when you think about the first time you listened to it, maybe you had that good entire body and soul cry, the kind of cry that puts you to sleep right after because maybe things haven't gotten better but you feel comfortable enough to be vulnerable and that's freeing in it of itself, you realize you weren't alone because for 4 minutes and 9 seconds we were all there, if only we knew at that moment. I mean L ook at the titles Warning Sign, Don't Panic, Everything's Not Lost, they cradled us with to sleep with these lullabies when we swore the world was crashing down on us and we'd never sleep again. Now my life is way better and these songs just bring me peace in seeing how much things have changed. Don't even get me started on Sparks UGHHH!!!

This song is about wanting something that's so simple, yet very hard to get. When Chris Martin sings, "I want to live life," he is reflecting on the challenges of life that can seem overwhelming.

There is something about that electric guitar part at 1:07 that makes this song particularly stand out to me. It makes me feel as if there is something that I'm missing in my life that I should have been striving for long ago. This song is perfect for describing that feeling. Thanks Coldplay ;)

Beatriz Perdomo Pacas

I've always thought Parachutes is such a great album beacuse of the spectrum it has. And this song has an almost ghostly feeling, of wanting to get out of our own skin and become one to their melody. It makes me embrace my life in a really beautiful way, even if it is for 4 minutes and 9 seconds only.
I also love the fact that this song comes and goes through my life. And whenever I find it back, I get the same feeling as I did the first time (plus a couple of other ones, cause that's another magical thing about Coldplay: every song has a hundred meanings, and I always find a new one).

I wanna fly, and never come down...

I've always had those feelings, nostalgic feelings settle down in the back of my mind, telling me that I have lived and experienced something that I don't quite remember, but the only way to tell if it is true, is by those feelings that get triggered by some songs or smells.

This song is so beautiful and encouraging, sadly touching at the same time. This is one of my favorite Coldplay songs ever. Probably one of my favorite songs ever, it's truly a masterpiece. In fact, all songs from Parachutes make me want to cry, because of nostalgia, and the melody of the development in this band. I personally think this is the crown jewel of the album and truly, it will never change. (Sorry, that was cheesy.)

The summer of 2015 was the best summer I've had. I've probably listened to this song 200 times in the car during the summer. I had forgotten all of my best events from last summer, and when I started listening to this song again, it "kick-started" the memories I had. For this song to be able to do that, it has to be something else. Coldplay's songs pull out our deepest emotions, and plays with them. Parachutes is a timeless album.
