Coldplay - Glass of Water lyrics

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 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, oh, oh

Son, don't ask neither half 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
Television selling plastic
Figurines of leaders saying nothing at all
And you chime, Stars in heaven align
Oh, oh, oh

Son, don't ask neither half full nor empty
Is your glass cling to the mast
Spend your whole life living in the past
Going nowhere fast

And what are we drinking when we're done?
Glasses of water
