polkahard Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Based on the new live version just posted in the Multimedia section. I'm thinking what I have down is pretty close; let me know what you think: Scared of losing all the time You 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 And 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 can see your future Inside a glass of water The ripples and the rhymes But will I see heaven in mine? Oh-oh-oh-oh-I 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 you wrote it on the wall The hollowest of halos Is no halo at all And television’s selling Plastic figurines of leaders Sayin’ nothing at all And we chime: “Stars in heaven align” Oh-oh-oh-oh-I 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 And what we drinking when we’re done? Just glasses of water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bertuzzi44 Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Heres the lyrics that were posted on my coldplay dot com. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iusedtoruletheworld Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 This song is promising, the melody is wicked, and the lyrics are great, as usual, signed Coldplay. However involving heaven and televisions selling plastic figures in the same song is a bit, uhm, can't find the word...:lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
