Coldplay - Up With The Birds Lyrics






The birds they sang, at break of day.
"Start again," I hear them say.
It's so hard to just walk away.
The birds they sang, all a choir,
"Start again a little higher.".
It's a spark in a sea of gray.

The sky is blue,
Dreamed that lie 'til it's true,
Then takin' back the punch I threw,
My arms turn wings,
Oh, those clumsy things
Send me up to that wonderful world
And then I'm up with the birds.

Might have to go where they don't know my name
Float all over the world just to see her again
And I won't show or feel any pain,
Even though all my armor might rust in the rain

A simple plot but I know one day
Good things are coming our way
A simple plot but I know one day
Good things are coming our way,
Oh, yeah...

    When Coldplay was touring this album in 2012, I went to two shows in Texas and they were the most amazing nights of my life. The ONLY song they did not play from this album was this song. This is my favorite song on the whole album.

    It's so hard to just walk away
    The birds they sang, all a choir
    Start again a little higher
    It's a spark in a sea of gray
    The sky is blue dream that lie 'till it's true
    Then taken back the punch I threw
    My arms turn in oh, those clumsy things
    Send me up to that wonderful world
    And then I'm up with the birds

    Mon cœur balance💖
    we never change ou cette chanson😽
    les deux🙂 elles m'hypnotisent et m'emeuvent😿😻

  39. h.... ....

    in my opinion that rock coldplay is better than pop coldplay, with the exception of mylo xyloto. beautiful album.

    h.... ....

    Ghost stories and mx are brilliant. Love them so much

    h.... ....

    MX was such a beautiful Era, I even think it was brighter and more colourful than AHFOD.
    Many good anthems came from here, and Daaaamn, Brian Eno is master of ambience.
    Everyday Life is pretty amazing too, but I really wish Brian Eno came back for at least one song

    h.... ....

    EVERYTHING FROM COLDPLAY IS GOOD

    h.... ....

    They’re the same Coldplay. There is no better or worse

  40. C.... F....

    People are going to miss this Coldplay because I do. Lol

    C.... F....

    Agreed. The industrial bug got them and they haven't come back since.

    C.... F....

    @beetjuice music When this album first came out, this was their most pop and commercial album to date. So I don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about.

    C.... F....

    @USMCLP But it was still _them._ Nothing they've put out since this has had what made them Coldplay in the first place except maybe the one single they did for the Hunger Games.

    C.... F....

    @Dewyn To be honest, I think you’re totally wrong. Listen to the Ghost Stories or the Kaleidoscope EP. There’s multiple great tracks on those records that I can easily name off the top of my head. Midnight, True Love, O (Fly On), Hypnotized, etc etc.

    Even A Head Full of Dreams has a few great tracks (Like Birds, Everglow, and Amazing Day), even though I’m not heavily fond of that record like most people.

    I always think that most people that hate on the newer stuff have never really given it a chance.

    C.... F....

    @USMCLP oh, no, I've listened to Ghost Stories a fair amount. It's not that they're necessarily _bad_, it just feels to me as if they've lost the touch that drew me into their music in the first place. All personal.

    edit: this was a fast ass reply but i swear i had literally just picked up my phone when i got the notification lmao

  41. T.... D....

    "might have to go where they don't know my name"......chills

    T.... D....

    Same here

    T.... D....

    I love how I feel listening to the last 2 minutes of this song. The whole “...a simple plot...” section gives me such chills and a sense of joy.
    Coldplay has so many songs like this, but this one is my absolute favorite of them.

  42. T.... S....

    The people who disliked this are fucking noobs

    T.... S....

    Im a noob myself you know, for only calling the people disliking this song "noobs"

    T.... S....

    You got your jimmies all rumbled up against the wrong guy, i dig this song.

    T.... S....

    @Biscuit Boy Not enough, this song needs to get liked so much that anyone who dislikes it shall be subject to endless torture!!!

    T.... S....

    @Joshua W lmao

    T.... S....

    I really like Coldplay, but their fandom is so mean :( in every comment section "people who don't like Coldplay have no music taste" and that's not that bad but there are some really hateful comments out there. I'd expect people who like this music to be really chill maybe even deep people etc but noo
