Letra de
Christmas Lights

A música Christmas Lights do Coldplay foi lançada em 2010 como um single natalino. A canção fala sobre sentimentos de solidão e saudade durante o período de Natal, mas termina em uma nota esperançosa. A inspiração para Christmas Lights veio dos sentimentos pessoais dos membros da banda durante o período festivo, refletindo tanto sobre as dificuldades quanto sobre a magia do Natal.

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

A group of candles on air flicker
Oh, they flicker and they float
But I'm up here holding on
To all those chandeliers of hope
Like some drunken Elvis singing
I go singing out of tune
Saying how I always loved you darling
And I always will

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

Time signature change (Rallentando)

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
Then all my troubles will be gone
Oh, Christmas lights, keep shining on

Wohohohohohoh-ohohohoh-oh

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