i agree with briang, this song is the ultimate pick-me-up. i cannot believe that the first time i heard it i hated it. its truly beautiful. and people say all coldplay is is depressing!
It's much like people say Pink Floyd is pessimistic. Much of their music is. But they always close off their stories with the "happy ending", the optimism that says "things may suck, but that doesn't mean they always will, so don't let our music get you down". And in that way, I think they, like Coldplay, have a really positive view on what life could be, they just feel that the possibilities are being ignored by the current situation and that's what's dragging us down.
