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 rhymes
He asked ‘Will I see heaven in mine?'

That is just the way it was
Nothing could be better
And nothing ever was
And they say you could see a future,
Inside a glass of water
With ripples and the rhymes
But Will I see heaven in mine?
Oh Oh Oh

Ah 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 the wall
The hollowest of halos
Is no halo at all
And television's said and past
In figurines and leaders
saying nothing at all
And he chimed stars in heaven aligned
Oh Oh Oh

Ah 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

[instrumental]

What are we drinking when we're done?
Just glasses of water
