Lyrics of Everyday Life by Coldplay
verse
What in the world are we going to do?
Look at what everybody′s going through
What kind of world do you want it to be?
Am I the future or the history?
chorus
'Cause everyone hurts, everyone cries
Everyone tells each other all kinds of lies
Everyone falls, everybody dreams and doubts
Got to keep dancing when the lights go out
verse
How in the world I am going to see?
You as my brother, not my enemy
chorus
′Cause everyone hurts, everyone cries
Everyone sees color in each other's eyes
Everyone loves, everybody gets their hearts ripped out
Got to keep dancing when the lights go out
Gonna keep dancing when the lights go out
hook
Hold tight for everyday life
Hold tight for everyday life
outro
But at first light, throw my arms out open wide
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelu, halle-hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelu, halle-hallelujah
