"What If" - Coldplay

 

what if there was no lies

nothing wrong, nothing right

what if there was no time

and no reason or right

what if you should decide

that you don't want me there by your side

that you don't want me there in your life

 

what if I got it wrong

and no [..] or [song or some or son]

[..] right what I got wrong

we'll make you feel I belong

what if you should decide

that you don't want me there by your side

that you don't want me there in your life

 

oo-oo-oo that's right

let's take a breath [...]

oo-oo-oo that's right

I can't [..] if you [..] me to try

oo-oo-oo that's right

 

and every step that you take

could be your biggest mistake

and we could bend and we could [..]

well, that's just the risk that you take

what if you should decide

that you don't want me there by your side

that you don't want me there in your life

 

oo-oo-oo that's right

let's take a breath [...]

oo-oo-oo that's right

I can't .. If you want me to try

oo-oo-oo that's right

 

oo-oo-oo that's right

let's take a breath [...]

oo-oo-oo that's right

[...]

oh-oh-oh that's right

 

______________________

 

The [..] is obviously words that I don't get

"What If" - Coldplay

 

what if there was no lies

nothing wrong, nothing right

what if there was no time

and no reason or rhyme <- correction

what if you should decide

that you don't want me there by your side

that you don't want me there in your life

 

what if I got it wrong

and no poem or song <- correction/fulfilling

[..] right what I got wrong

we'll make you feel I belong

what if you should decide

that you don't want me there by your side

that you don't want me there in your life

 

oo-oo-oo that's right

let's take a breath [...]

oo-oo-oo that's right

I can't [..] if you [..] me to try

oo-oo-oo that's right

 

and every step that you take

could be your biggest mistake

and we could bend or we could break <- correction/fulfilling

well, that's just the risk that you take

what if you should decide

that you don't want me there by your side

that you don't want me there in your life

 

oo-oo-oo that's right

Thank you owenrees_73 for the very precise help.

thanks to you too, i am trying hard to figure out the rest.........wanna start some threads on the other songs?

  • Author

Sure, but now I'm kinda tired (2:23am here) :D But you can start new threads if you want. I'll definetely help out.

Well... I'm not sure but maybe it could be

 

I COULD put right what I got wrong

OR make you feel I belong

 

and the second part after that oo-oo-oo

HOW CAN YOU KNOW IT IF YOU DON´T EVEN TRY?

 

WHEN every step that you take

 

And what you think about and no reason, or WHY? (I really don't know, but it makes sense)

 

Thanks for posting it!! Wonderful song!! Saudações brazucas! :D

  • Author

I really think that this is : "What if I got it wrong? And no poem or song could put right what I got wrong."

 

And I'm really not sure about "we'll make you feel I belong". Quite sure it's not "we'll". I thinks it's "will" or something.

 

But "HOW CAN YOU KNOW IT IF YOU DON´T EVEN TRY?" is definetely correct!!

 

And I guess it's "And" not "When" but I have serious doubts.

 

Beijo Cris!

ya this is great.......im really wanting to figure out lyrics to square one and white shadows, as a message is already done. oh and speed of sound i will try too

ok......and well try and finish what if.........then once we have all the songs done we can post them all together in one thread

yeah "no poem or song could put right what I got wrong" --> absolutely our Coldplay is back!

Yeah, Cris, it's "When every step ...".

 

Everybody: after the first "That's riiiight" it sounds like "Let's take a breath, jump over the [sky or sight or something like it]". What do you think?

we'll make you feel I belong <- serious doubts about "we'll", probably "will"

 

im pretty sure its OR make you feel i belong

Where are you getting the lyrics from? The live track?

and the second time around i think its how can you know if you WONT even try
