Glass of Water

[Verse 1]
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
The ripples and the lines
And he asked
"Will I see Heaven in mine?"
That is just the way it was
Nothin' could be better
And nothin' 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

[Chorus]
Son, don't ask
Neither half full nor empty
Is your glass
Cling to the mast
Spend your whole life livin'
In the past
Goin' nowhere fast

[Verse 2]
So he wrote it on a wall
The hollowest of halos
Is no halo at all
Television sellin' plastic
Figurines of leaders
Sayin' nothin' at all
And you chime, stars in Heaven align
Oh, oh, oh

[Chorus]
Son, don't ask
Neither half full nor empty
Is your glass
Cling to the mast
Spend your whole life livin'
In the past
Goin' nowhere fast

[Outro]
And what are we drinkin' when we're done?
Glasses of water
