About This Track

‘Proof’ by Coldplay is a 2005 Adult Alternative track from the album ‘Speed of Sound - Single’. The lyrics present a waiting, devoted relationship mood, with the singer turning to a beloved person for certainty, echoing the idea of being “covered” by that connection. There’s a recurring contrast between light and dark, framed as something that repeatedly brightens, culminating in the promise that proof is found in them, and a sense of patience stretching out across the day.

"Proof" is a single by Coldplay, from the album Speed of Sound - Single, released 22nd May 2005. The track is 4:11 long. It's filed under Adult Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 11 articles about Coldplay.

Lyrics

Proof

So I waited for you
What wouldn't I do?
And I'm covered, it's true
I'm covered in you

And if I ever want proof
I find it in you
Yeah, I honestly do
In you, I find proof

Light and dark
A bright spark
Light and dark
And then, light

So I waited all day
What wouldn't I say?
And are there things in the way?
Things happen that way

Oh, and if I ever want proof
Then, I find it in you
Oh, yeah, I honestly do
In you, I find proof

Light and dark
A bright spark
Light and dark
And then, light

Light
Light
Light
Light
