Coldplay Glass Of Water Lyrics

Glass Of Water Lyrics

Scared of losin' 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 with ripples and the lines

And he asked, "Will I see heaven in mine?"



That is just the way it was

Nothing could be better and nothing ever was

Oh, they say you can see your future

Inside a glass of water, the riddles and the rhymes

"Will I see heaven in mine?"



Oh, 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 a wall

The hollowest of halos is no halo at all

Televisions selling plastic figurines of leaders

Saying nothing at all

And you chime, stars in heaven align



Oh, 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



What are we drinking when we're done?

Glasses of water
