Full Lyrics – “In My Place” by Coldplay

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Yeah, how long must you wait for him?
Yeah, how long must you pay for him?
Yeah, how long must you wait for him?

[Verse 2]
I was scared, I was scared
Tired and underprepared
But I’ll wait for it
If you go, if you go
Leave me down here on my own
Then I’ll wait for you, yeah

[Chorus]
Yeah, how long must you wait for him?
Yeah, how long must you pay for him?
Yeah, how long must you wait for him?

[Bridge]
Sing it, please, please, please
Come back and sing to me, to me, to me
Come on and sing it out, now, now
Come on and sing it out
To me, me
Come back and sing

[Outro]
In my place, in my place
Were lines that I couldn’t change
And I was lost, oh yeah
Oh yeah
