Mister Glassman

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
