[Verse 1]
Sometimes I wake up, and I'm falling asleep
I think that maybe the curtains are closing on me
But I wake up
Yes I wake up smiling

[Verse 2]
Sometimes I feel, oh, the charge is surprising
Surprisingly good to be moving around
So I wake up
Yes I wake up smiling

[Pre-Chorus]
So what? I feel fine
I'm OK, I've seen the lighter side of life
I'm alright, I feel good
So I'll go, and I'll try to stop moving

[Verse 3]
Sometimes I wake up, and I'm falling asleep
But I've got to get going, so much that I'm wanting to do
But I wake up smiling

[Chorus]
And this could be my last chance
Of saving my innocence
And this could be my last chance
No more keeping my feet on the ground

[Verse 4]
Sometimes I feel, oh, the charge is surprising
Surprisingly good to be moving around
And I move
I wake up smiling

[Pre-Chorus]
So what? I feel fine
I feel OK, I've seen the lighter side of life
I'm alright, I feel good
So I'll go, well it's time to stop moving

[Chorus]
And this could be my last chance
Of saving my innocence
And this could be my last chance
So no more keeping my feet on the ground

[Outro]
I'm not gonna keep on
I'm not gonna keep on the
I'm not gonna keep on
I'm not gonna keep on the ground

Coldplay

Coldplay is a British rock band, formed in 1997 by University College London classmates Chris Martin (vocals, guitar, piano), Jonny Buckland (guitar) and Guy Berryman (bass), along with drummer Will Champion. The band’s name comes from Tim Crompton, a student who was in the same university as the members (University College London) at the time.

Once they issued their debut, Parachutes in 2000, many saw them as a Radiohead knock-off. No doubt, Coldplay’s sound —elegant, melodic, vaguely spacey and very dramatic — bore plenty of similarity to mid-1990s Radiohead. But the group’s hooks, sharpened by frontman Chris Martin’s ability to pull heartstrings, and the their willingness to evolve their sound, gave Coldplay staying power. The greatest examples are second album A Rush of Blood to the Head (2002), which was generally considered to be musically and lyrically more mature and sophisticated, and less obviously the product of one particular influence, and the fourth one Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends (2008), where producer Brian Eno influenced the band to broaden their sound and led to various sonic landscapes. Both won the Grammy Award for Best Rock Album and spawned sucessful singles such as “Clocks”, “Viva la Vida”, “In My Place”, “Violet Hill” and “The Scientist”.

As a result, the band became one of the most commercially successful acts of the new millennium, with over 80 million albums sold – even if along with the acclaim came a vocal opposition, due to the supposedly derivative nature, the overtly emotional lyrics, and the fact they’re good-mannered English boys instead of wild rockstars. As a result, Coldplay are thought as either a punchline showing all that’s wrong with 21st century rock, or a really good if overplayed band with songs tailor made for stadium performances.
