Lyrics Everglow

Everglow is a song by the British band Coldplay that discusses the warmth and affection that lingers with someone even after a relationship has ended. The song was inspired by the separation of lead vocalist Chris Martin from actress Gwyneth Paltrow. It highlights the idea of the everglow, a glow that never fades, signifying that true love never entirely disappears.

Oh they say people come
They say people go
this particular diamond was extra special
And though you might be gone
And the world may not know
Still I see you celestial

Like a lion you ran
a goddess you rolled
Like an eagle you circled
in perfect purple
So how come things move on?
How come cars don’t slow?
When it feels like the end of my world
When I should but I can’t let you go

But when I’m cold, cold
When I’m cold, cold
There’s a light that you give me
When I’m in shadow
There’s a feeling you give me, an everglow


Like brothers in blood
sisters who ride
And we swore on that night
We’d be friends ‘til we die
But the changing of winds
And the way waters flow
Life is short as the falling of snow
And now I’m gonna miss you, I know

When I’m cold, cold
In water rolled, salt
I know that you’re always with me
And the way you will show, and you’re with me wherever I go
and you give me this feeling, this everglow

oh- IIII
what I wouldn’t give for just a moment to know
Yeah, I live for this feeling, this everglow

So if you love someone, you should let them know
Oh, the light that you give me will everglow
