We Never Change
Coldplay Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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
