When she was just a girl

She expected the world

But it flew away from her reach

So she ran away in her sleep

And dreamed of para- para- paradise

Para- para- paradise

Para- para- paradise

Every time she closed her eyes

 

When she was just a girl

She expected the world

But it flew away from her reach

And the bullets catch in her teeth

 

Life goes on, gets so heavy

The wheel breaks the butterfly

Every tear a waterfall

In the night, the stormy night, she'd close her eyes

In the night, the stormy night, away she flies

 

And dreams of para- para- paradise

Para- para- paradise

Para- para- paradise

Ohoohoooh

 

She dreams of para- para- paradise

Para- para- paradise

Para- para- paradise

Ohoohoooh-ohoh

 

Lalalalalalala

 

So/Still lying underneath those stormy skies

She'd say: "Ohoohoooh, I know the sun must set to rise"

 

This could be para- para- paradise

Para- para- paradise

Could be para- para- paradise

Ohoohoooh

 

This could be para- para- paradise

Para- para- paradise

Could be para- para- paradise

Ohoohoooh-ohoh

 

This could be para- para- paradise

Para- para- paradise

Could be para- para- paradise

 

Ohoohoooh

when she was just a girl she expected the world but it flew away from her reach so she ran away in her sleep and dreamed of paradise..

 

 

What do you guys think??

 

awesome!!!

I'm even more excited to hear Paradise! Wonder if they will tweet all the lyrics like they did with ETIAW?

Paradise lyrics

 

Coldplay tweeted

 

"when she was just a girl she expected the world but it flew away from her reach so she ran away in her sleep and dreamed of paradise"

 

I believe this is part of the paradise lyrics

 

And this is the art work

Hopefully they will tweet a little bit more of the lyrics tomorrow and on Saturday and Sunday!

I am pretty sure they will tweet more lyrics during the weekend...so the song is about a girl :)

:stunned:

 

EXCITEMENT.

Most likely.

Hmm i remember John saying the Lyrics didnt had "Paradise" as a Word/Chorus init.

I am thinking that girl may be Apple. So yes, maybe indirectly the song is about Apple.

wow the lyrics were posted 5 minutes ago and there is already a post here! that shows how dedicated these fans are

I want the LP 5 yet =( The Single will be nice, but i want the full creative experience of Mylo Xyloto, not a few of parts! The Lyric is fantastic!!

I'm thinking this girl is possibly the Princess of China :thinking:

Why so much Threads.

i'm gonna quote myself.

 

"Hmm i remember John saying the Lyrics didnt had "Paradise" as a Word/Chorus init."

I'm really liking the lyrics! I can barely contain my excitement. :bomb: :dance: I agree with you guys in hoping they keep tweeting lyrics.

I do hope Coldplay doesn't use this trend for much longer. While I really like the lyrics, I'd rather be surprised the first time I listen to them.

 

But of course, as soon as I hear the song, I'll forget I even complained about this! :lol:

Like these lyrics!! I want to listen to this song so bad!! :bomb:

*goes to stalk Coldplay's Twitter* :escaping2:

"Hmm i remember John saying the Lyrics didnt had "Paradise" as a Word/Chorus init."

 

I was thinking the same thing. But, he did say he didn't hear it in the chorus, nothing else.

At the very end of POC on the screen, there's the blue butterfly that goes by (same as the cover) and then a giant pink "girl"

 

I'm actually not diggin' the lyrics, but then again, its hard to tell without the rest of the song around it. Like, who likes to eat flour by itself when you can mix it with eggs, milk and sugar for a cake?

Found a funny coincidence.

To me this solidifies that PoC will be included somehow. This sounds like an extension of that theme.

Something like that yes.

I Ran Away part II? :D I hope so!

Well you need to take into account that ETIAW is in that same corner of the album artwork that the Paradise butterflies are. :shrug: I think it's just all tightly united.
