CHRISTMAS LIGHTS (COLDPLAY)-SONG

Welcome back to the Daily Vitamin, everyone! I hope you are having a great day. 

Today we look at yet another "not-so-traditional" Christmas song. Today's song is "Christmas Lights" by Coldplay.

The song was released in November of 2017. You can watch and listen to the official music video at the following link.

Below I have included the lyrics to the song.

CHRISTMAS LIGHTS
Christmas night
Another fight
Tears we cried a flood
Got all kinds of poison in
Of poison in my blood

I took my feet to Oxford street
Trying to right a wrong
"Just walk away" those windows say
But I can't believe she's gone

When you're still waiting for the snow to fall
Doesn't really feel like Christmas at all

Up above candles on air flicker
Oh, they flicker, and they flow
And I'm up here holding onto
All those chandeliers of hope
And like some drunken Elvis singing
I go singing out of tune
Singing how I always loved you, darling
And I always will

Oh, when you're still waiting for the snow to fall
It doesn't really feel like Christmas at all
Still waiting for the snow to fall
It doesn't really feel like Christmas at all

Those Christmas lights
Light up the street
Down where the sea and city meet
May all your troubles soon be gone
Oh, Christmas lights keep shining on

Those Christmas lights
Light up the street
Maybe they'll bring her back to me
And then all my troubles will be gone
Oh, Christmas lights keep shining on

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, Christmas lights
Light up the street
Light up the fireworks in me
May all your troubles soon be gone
Those Christmas lights keep shining on
