Shiver
From WikiColdplay
"Shiver" is a song by Coldplay and is featured on their debut album, Parachutes. It was also released as the lead single from the album. "Shiver" most likely is about unrequited love.
"Shiver" is one of the older songs in Coldplay's catalogue, and had been performed at their early concerts since 1999. This was in contrast to other Parachutes tracks like "Yellow", "Everything's not Lost", and "Trouble" that were written around New Year 2000.
On later legs of the A Rush of Blood to the Head Tour, the song was dropped from the setlist. The band has joked that they have grown tired of playing it for the past seven years. [1]

Lyrics
So I look in your direction But you pay me no attention, do you? I know you don't listen to me 'Cos you say you see straight through me, don't you? And on and on From the moment I wake, to the moment I sleep I'll be there by your side; just you try and stop me I'll be waiting in line, just to see if you care Oh… Did you want me to change? Well I changed for good And I want you to know that you'll always get your way I wanted to say… Don't you shiver Shiver Sing it loud and clear I'll always be waiting for you So you know how much I need you But you never even see me, do you? And is this my final chance of getting you And on and on From the moment I wake, to the moment I sleep I'll be there by your side; just you try and stop me I'll be waiting in line, just to see if you care Oh… Did you want me to change? Well I changed for good And I want you to know that you'll always get your way I wanted to say… Don't you shiver Don't you shiver Sing it loud and clear I'll always be waiting for you Yeah I'll always be waiting for you Yeah I'll always be waiting for you Yeah I'll always be waiting for you, for you I will always be waiting… And it's you I see but you don't see me And it's you I hear so loud and so clear I sing it loud and clear And I'll always be waiting for you So I look in your direction But you pay me no attention And you know how much I need you But you never even see me
