Info[]
Before, during and after the Parachutes, A Rush of Blood to the Head and X&Y eras, Coldplay continues to play "Shiver" at occasions, especially the Parachutes and A Rush of Blood to the Head tours, and even for a couple of times during the Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends era. It is about a person's unrequited love with a female person. While Coldplay are listed as Alternative rock, the song lists itself as Indie rock. Recording the final version of "Shiver" was filmed for the music video, which promotes the same song.
Lyrics[]
- So I look in your direction
- But you pay me no attention do you
- I know you don't listen to me
- 'Cause you say you see straight through me, don't you?
- But on and on, from the moment I wake
- 'Til the moment I sleep
- I'll be there by your side
- Just you try and stop me
- I'll be waiting in line
- Just to see if you care
- Oh, did you want me to change?
- Well I changed for good
- And I want you to know
- That you'll always get your way
- I wanted to say
- Don't you shiver
- Shiver
- Sing it loud and clear
- I'll always be waiting for you
- So you know how much I need you
- But you never even see me do you?
- And is this my final chance of getting you?
- But on and on, from the moment I wake
- 'Til the moment I sleep
- I'll be there by your side
- Just you try and stop me
- I'll be waiting in line
- Just to see if you care
- If you care
- Oh, did you want me to change?
- Well I changed for good
- And I want you to know
- That you'll always get your way
- And I wanted to say
- Don't you shiver
- Don't you shiver
- Sing it loud and clear
- I'll always be waiting for you
- Yeah I'll always be waiting for you
- Yeah I'll always be waiting for you
- Yeah I'll always be waiting for you
- For you
- I will always be waiting
- And it's you I see
- But you don't see me
- And it's you I hear
- So loud and so clear
- I sing it loud and clear
- And I'll always be waiting for you
- So I look in your direction
- But you pay me no attention
- And you know how much I need you
- But you never even see me
