Glass Of Water

Coldplay · Other Songs - Coldplay

Scared of losing all the time

He wrote it in a letter

He was a friend of mine

He heard you could see your future

Inside a glass of water

The ripples and the rhymes

He asked 'Will I see heaven in mine?'



That is just the way it was

Nothing could be better

And nothing ever was

And they say you could see a future,

Inside a glass of water

With ripples and the rhymes

But Will I see heaven in mine?

Oh Oh Oh



Ah Son, don't ask,

Neither how full nor empty is your glass

Cling to the mast

Spend your whole life living in the past

Going nowhere fast



So he wrote it on the wall

The hollowest of halos

Is no halo at all

And television's said and past

In figurines and leaders

saying nothing at all

And he chimed stars in heaven aligned

Oh Oh Oh



Ah Son, don't ask,

Neither how full nor empty is your glass

Cling to the mast

Spend your whole life living in the past

Going nowhere fast



[instrumental]



What are we drinking when we're done?

Just glasses of water
