Coldplay - Glass of Water

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 rhymes He asked 'Will I see heaven in mine?' Oh that is just the way it was, and nothing could be better, and nothing ever was. And they say you can see your future, inside a glass of water, with riddles and the rhymes but 'will I see heaven in mine?’ Ooooh, oooh, ooooh ... 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 and Televisions selling plastic figurines of leaders Saying nothing at all And you chime Stars in heaven align Ohhhhhhhh 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 … just glasses of water.
