Lyrics of
In My Place

In My Place by Coldplay discusses finding ones place in the world after making mistakes or feeling lost. Written after the bands initial success, it reflects on their experiences and doubts. It was critically acclaimed for its composition and meaning.

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 him

I was scared, I was scared
Tired and underprepared
But I wait for you
If you go, if you go
Leaving me here on my own
Well I wait for you

Yeah, how long must you wait for it?
Yeah, how long must you pay for it?
Please, please, please
Come on and sing to me
To me, me
Come on and sing it out, out, out
Come on and sing it now, now, now
Come on and sing it

In my place, in my place
Were lines that I couldn't change
I was lost, oh yeah
Oh yeah
