Lyrics

oh angel sent from up  
you know you   my world   up
when I was down, when I was  
you came to   me up

life is a drink and love’s a  
oh now I think I must be   up
when I was a river   up
you came to rain a  

you said ‘drink from me, drink from me’
when I was so  
poured on a symphony
now I just can’t get  
put your wings on me, on me
when I was so heavy
poured on a symphony
when I’m low low low low

I oh I oh I
got me feeling drunk and high
so high so high
oh I oh I oh I
now I’m feeling drunk and high
so high so high

oh angel sent from up above
I feel you coursing through my blood
life is a drink and your love’s about
to make the   come  

put your wings on me, on me
when I was so heavy
poured on a symphony
when I’m low low low low

I oh I oh I
you got me feeling drunk and high
so high so high
oh I oh I oh I
now I’m feeling drunk and high
so high so high

I oh I oh I
la la la la la la la
so high so high

oh I oh I oh I
now I’m feeling drunk and high
so high so high
that I shoot across the sky
that I shoot across the
that I shoot across the sky
watch me shoot across the….

Meaning

“Hymn for the Weekend” grew out of a desire for Coldplay to have a club song that people could dance to. Usually club music doesn’t have a lot of depth, but Coldplay manages to pull off depth as well as “pop hit” in “Hymn for the Weekend.”
