Coldplay - In My Place

In My Place performed by Coldplay

The second track from the 2002 album A Rush of Blood to the Head

Lyrics:
In my place, in my place
Were lines that I couldn't change
I was lost, oh yeah
I was lost, I was lost
Crossed lines I shouldn't have crossed
I was lost, oh yeah
Yeah how long must you wait for it?
Yeah how long must you pay for it?
Yeah how long must you wait for it?
Oh for it
I was scared, I was scared
Tired and under prepared
But I wait for it
If you go, if you go
Leave me down here on my own
Then I'll wait for you (yeah)
Yeah how long must you wait for it?
Yeah how long must you pay for it?
Yeah how long must you wait for it?
Oh for it
Sing it, please, please, please
Come back and sing to me, to me, me
Come on and sing it out, now, now
Come on and sing it out, to me, me
Come back and sing it
In my place, in my place
Were lines that I couldn't change
And I was lost, oh yeah, oh yeah

[zackatack]

the guitar's sound in the beginning sounds so sweet.

[wrestlingXtime]

Woke up with this guitar riff in my head. It has popped in and out of my head at random times the last 20 yrs. Good, sad, tune. Brings back many memories.

[robinheo]

In my place, in my place
Were lines that I couldn't change
I was lost, oh yeah
I was lost, I was lost
Crossed lines I shouldn't have crossed
I was lost, oh yeah
Yeah how long must you wait for it?
Yeah how long must you pay for it?
Yeah how long must you wait for it?
Oh for it
I was scared, I was scared
Tired and under prepared
But I wait for it
If you go, if you go
Leave me down here on my own
Then I'll wait for you (yeah)
Yeah how long must you wait for it?
Yeah how long must you pay for it?
Yeah how long must you wait for it?
Oh for it
Sing it, please, please, please
Come back and sing to me, to me, me
Come on and sing it out, now, now
Come on and sing it out, to me, me
Come back and sing it
In my place, in my place
Were lines that I couldn't change
And I was lost, oh yeah, oh yeah

i may not be the biggest coldplay fan, but this song has a special place in my heart<3

[ITIonoxide]

May not be one of their popular ones, but this song won them a grammy. Thats saying something.

[calqmitv]

My dad used to listen to coldplay all the time and I grew up with this music.
I haven‘t heard this song in 5 years and the moment it statrted I instantly teared up.

[pepsidude]

This is one of my most favorite songs by Coldplay and I first remember hearing this song in Guitar Hero 5 as well from the Guitar Hero video game series since I always love playing this song in the game.

[ankor]

Almost 20 years later, what a nostalgic throwback to my childhood.

[TAZMANIANtornadoe]

Waking up and hearing this on vh1 in the morning during the early 2000's was lit

[hiddentalent]

This song is perfection. I think the guitarist wrote this, what a genius!

[rubygracemoseley]

Gah! The guitar in the beginning…It sounds so nostalgic, bittersweet…like it’s remembering something that isn’t there anymore so it’s sad but it’s happy because it was there…

[charlesthedeadlifter]

I was 23 years old when this was released. I just got a job at a law firm making good money for a youngster being on my own. Times were great then. No social media.

[kesiaoliver]

Coldplay marcou toda uma geração. Essa música marcou toda uma geração e essa arte continuará a marcar quem ja sorriu e chorou ouvindo esses caras.

[austriehavannah]

When you are a 2000 baby, and this song was your childhood.

[paulmoore]

There's not many albums that are perfect from beginning to end. A Rush Of Blood To The Head is definitely one of them.

[Crazy_Diamond_]

I used to listen to this song in the park on misty weekday mornings while doing my calculus homework. That was a surprisingly fun summer.

[thekittyangel]

This song always gives me the vibe of it being sunset, you’re on a long drive home from having fun with friends and/or family, you’re a little tired and just replaying all the great memories you’ve had together as you drive

[nikki]

A song I remember and can acknowledge it’s from Coldplay but when I try to look it up my mind goes blank. Saving it in all my playlists so this never happens again

[chrisgabriel]

I love the simplicity in that melodic riff that includes that little slide. Guitarists, you know what I'm talking about. Ughhh..think ima write now..

[emilygene]

Been feeling down lately, I am currently on my way to work and this song makes me feel like it’s going to be okay 💗
