Guy Berryman - Gla** of Water lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 gla** of water The 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 gla** of water The riddles and the rhymes Will I see heaven in mine? [Chorus] Son, don't ask Neither half full nor empty Is your gla** Cling to the mast Spend your whole life living In the past Going nowhere fast [Verse 2] So he wrote it on a wall The hollowest of halos Is no halo at all Television selling plastic Figurines of leaders Saying nothing at all And you chime, stars in heaven align [Chorus] [Outro] And what are we drinking when we're done? Gla**es of water
