Glass Of Water lyrics

This song is awesome! That's the only way to describe it... awesome! Coldplay rocks!

to ambercat:there is a whole part missing bu its just a repeat of the second half.by the way i LOVE this song and i LOVE coldplay!!!This song is like telling someone that there stuck in the past and they need to catch up with the future.

Here are the lyrics to the whole song:

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
Would 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 Oh I

Son, don't ask
Neither half full or empty is the 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
Ohhh I

Son, don't ask
Neither half full or empty is the 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

Hope this helps

Did you listen to the song, or did you just read the lyrics? Because this isn't the whole song.
Anyway, I love this song. It's definitely different territory for Coldplay, which is probably why it's on the EP instead of VLV. But it's still great.

i like how the song gave a childish feeling to it. how it is set on someone giving explanation to someone else of "the future". Besides THIS ISN'T THE WHOLE SONG...there was a whole part it was missing...this is only the second half.Did anyone even listen to the song...or did you guys read the lyrics only...its a good song to me though.
