Coldplay how long must

I wish t way I feel never existed General Comment I got this album as a present from my boyfriend, and I liked it a lot, yet not neccessarily this song that much. We went hiking one morning through this trail in the woods in the Sawtooth Mountains, got lost, and eventually reached our destination: Sweethearts' Bluff. The view was amazing. After that, as we were making our way back down, we came to this huge tree that had fallen over in a storm, he climbed over it first, and then I stepped onto the tree and he offered to help me down the other side like a five foot drop I expected to quickly hop down, but he slowly let me float down to the ground and into his arms.

When I listened to this song after that, all I could think of was our hike and that moment. So for me, the words "In My Place" mean being in his embrace and enjoying the sunshine and tranquility of that morning. General Comment This song just gives me such an amazing feeling every time I hear it It never gets old. Memory Saw this on a great tribute video for Ryan Dunn. I will never forget that he died on my 18th birthday. RIP Random Hero. You will be missed by your fans and the kids who looked up to you.

DanielRogers on June 22, Link. Martin wore McCulloch's coat when he recorded this. This song seems to be about a guy who loves a girl who doesn't reciprocate. He is telling her that he will always wait for her, but he doesn't think that she should stay where she is any longer. FloridaGuy on October 10, Link. Oh for it Wondering what his consequences are and when he'll properly be forgiven for the things he did I was scared, I was scared Tired and under prepared But I wait for it He was overwhelmed with what he did and has exhausted himself, yet he stands there patiently wanting a response from his love interest If you go, if you go Leave me down here on my own Then I'll wait for you yeah The fear of him being dumped would make him feel hopeless and undetermined about where to turn to next Yeah how long must you wait for it?

Oh for it Same as above Sing it, please, please, please Come back and sing to me, to me, me Come on and sing it out, now, now Come on and sing it out, to me, me Come back and sing it He's begging this girl not to go. He wants her to stay with him, so they can be happy, like they once were In my place, in my place Were lines that I couldn't change And I was lost, oh yeah, oh yeah He realizes that he was a fool for making his mistakes and wants to make it up to this girl sethery on January 06, Link.

Very reasonable comment that seems to explain everything so its the one I'll be taking : shingami on October 30, General Comment This song means a lot to me right now, and sums up a relationship I have with a friend. For me the song is pretty simple; guy fancies a girl, but he's lost her and he wants her to come back to him again. Here's how the song is for me: In my place, in my place Were lines that I couldn't change I'm married, he's in a relationship I was lost, oh yeah I was lost, I was lost Crossed lines I shouldn't have crossed We've touched each other in a non-sexual way, but we both knew where we were going with it.

We've hugged and haven't let go after we've had long conversations with each other. We've grabbed hands for a second when no one was looking. We're not supposed to cross those lines as friends. I was lost, oh yeah Yeah how long must you wait for it? Oh for it We know we can't go there with each other because of our situations. I don't know what happened with him. I haven't looked at another man in 15 years, and I knew this guy for over a year before everything hit me like a ton of bricks in the face.

I realized for a while he's been trying to get my attention and I never paid attention. I was scared, I was scared Tired and under prepared I was scared after the realization hit me. I was in a fog for 2 weeks after. I started to doubt everything I knew up to that point. He turned the world I knew completely around and made it spin backwards.

He knew it, too. We could be in a crowd and it would only be us talking to each other. But I wait for it Every day I would wait for him to show up. If you go, if you go Leave me down here on my own Then I'll wait for you yeah He moved to the night shift.

It's easier to get over if you don't see him every day. Sing it, please, please, please Come back and sing to me, to me, me Come on and sing it out, now, now Come on and sing it out, to me, me Come back and sing it This part is really personal for me.

He acts like a big kid around everyone. The mistakes you've made in life Getting back what you once had etc. I believe this song could be both for Jesus and or someone you considered your soul-mate. I lost my fiance and I listen to this song and it's everything I am feeling. I am waiting for him. How long do I have to wait? I was unprepared for such a traumatic loss. I believe it can be interpreted many ways. Personally, I feel that this song is about our human nature, and how we love to categorize things, and label things.

I think Chris is talking about and showing what it is like if you don't fit, or don't fully belong in these metaphorical boxes, these categories. When he does, he becomes lost, not really knowing where to go, where he belongs, what "box" he should be in.

My interpretation is basically a guy falling in love with his best friend or getting friend zoned. He shouldn't of crossed the line of being more than a friend. I think the song is about how people in the world have branded and judged you, hence the name 'In my place'. In a wikipiedia page that I read, it stated that Chris Martin said "That's about where you're put in the world, and how you're given your position, and the way you look, and how you have to get on with it.

I think it is also about how he wasn't ready for the pressure of the world, in the lyrics it says 'I was scared, I was scared, Tired and underprepared'. That's what my interpretation is of the song. Sep14 This is the best article I've read on this topic in fevorer!

Thanks for making it so clear and concise and using St. Thomas Aquinas! The problem begins in educations as most Catholics don't have any concept of what we're talking about here, and second the resources are so incredibly limited that its impossible not to fall into the mind-numbingly awful music that predominates in modern parishes.

But the most people know hopefully the more demand for good music it'll create! I don't know why, but this song really hits me hard. Whenever i read the Bible now, I want to listen to this song. Everything seems so much clearer. I don't think this song has anything to do with that, but like most people say, songs hit people differently.

I feel like if I close my eyes during the guitar part, I can see a glimpse of God's Kingdom. I suppose you could try to make this song about God but its probably about a guy and a girl. In my place touched me very much with the lyrics. It reminds me of when i was 14 years old and was molested and was in therapy. Please, please, please Come on and sing to me To me, me -begging him to be with her, and no one else. Login Register Login with Facebook. All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners.
