Let's paint a picture, you're in class
The teacher writes the notes too fast, and
There's a boy who sits in back, who's
Too afraid to raise his hand
And ask if she could slow it down
So nervously he looks around; can't bear to
Stand out in the crowd and he's only gotten
Half the notes now
The school bell rings and he feels deflated
Looks at his hand he should of raised it, his biggest fear
He should have faced it and now he's lost inside the pages
He might be there, but you'd never notice, got a lot to say
But he's soft spoken. He's a book, it just doesn't open
A tiny ripple in a stormy ocean. Glass man, Mr. Glass man ...glass...man
Mister Glassman
He's really soft spoken
You never notice glass unless it's broken
Mr. Glass man
He's really soft-spoken
You never notice glass unless it's broken
Mister
Glass man
A few years later
And now it's prom season
Mister Glass isn't going unless he has a reason
There's a cutie in his class that he likes a lot
But he's afraid to ask her because they never talked
Plus if she says yes, what's he gonna do?
Doesn't have a car, dude, he's screwed
He doesn't feel cool,
He's too subdued
And he's scared to meet her parents too
Boo hoo
Just another chance he blew, 'cuz there's
Way too many things going on in his head
And he's always in his head thinking too far ahead
Could've gone to prom
But instead he lays in bed
Thinking of all the things he left unsaid
Silly Mr. Glass, the world has a way
'til he's red
By now I'm sure you've heard many people say
You miss every opportunity you don't take
Don't be shy kid, make your own fate
Glass man
Mr. Glass man
Glass...
Man...
Mr. Glass man,
He's really soft spoken
You never notice glass unless it's broken
Mr. Glass man
He's really soft spoken
You never notice glass
Unless it's broken
Mister... glass man
Now mister glass is
Older and he's doing just fine
Yeah he made it through High School
Even though he was shy
He's got a group of good friends
And his future is bright
And he still gets sad but he's still happy with his life
Remember when he didn't ask that cutie to prom?
Well now he's got a couple of kids
And now they're calling her mom
And remember when he couldn't raise his hand in class?
Well now he's up on stage
In front of fans rapping fast
But he still gets scared and he still gets nervous
Cuz you gotta fear the waves
If you wanna go surfin'
Nothin' is for certain
Like does cursive have a purpose?
Was it worth it that you learned it? probably NOT
I dunno
I digress
But the point i'm tryna stress
Is that we're all just made of glass
Even when we're at our best
We can break, we can splinter
Disappear
Or lose our temper
Even if you think you're bullet proof
I am glass,
And so are you
Glass man
Mister glassman
Glass...
Man...
Mister glass man
He's really soft spoken
You never notice glass
Unless it's broken
Mister glass man
He's really soft spoken
You never notice glass
Unless it's broken
It's hard to get by
When you're feeling so shy
You gotta keep on moving
Just a step at a time
Mister glass man
He's really soft spoken
You never notice glass
Unless it's broken
Mista'
Shooby doo wop Shooby doo way Shooby dooby dooby doo Woppity wop
(Mister glass man)
He's really soft spoken
(Mister glass man)
Mister glass man
