By/My/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 rhymes
He asked 'Will I see heaven in mine?'

Oh that is just the way it was
And nothing could be better
And nothing ever was
Oh he said you could see your future
Inside a glass of water
The riddles and the rhymes
'Will I see heaven in mine?'
Ohhhh, ohhhh, ohhhh, 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 he wrote it on the wall
The hollowest of halos
Is no halo at all
Televisions selling plastic
Figurines of leaders, sayin' nothing at all
And we chimed, stars in heaven align
Ohhhh, ohhhh, ohhhh, I....

Son don't ask
Neither how full nor empty is your glass
Cling to the mast
Spend your whole life living in, in the past
Going nowhere fast

And what I'll be drinking when we're done?
Just glasses of water

Asked you a question
I didn't need you to reply
Is it gettin' heavy?
But they'll realize
Is it gettin' heavy?
Well I thought it was already as heavy
As can be

Tell everybody
Waitin' for Superman
That they should try to hold on
Best they can
He hasn't dropped them
Forgot them
Or anything
It's just too heavy for Superman to lift

It's just too heavy for Superman to lift
