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 can slow it down So nervously he looks around Can't bare 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 have 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 that just isn't open A tiny ripple in a stormy ocean Glassman, Mister Glassman Glassman Mister Glassman He's really soft spoken You never notice glass unless it's broken Mister Glassman He's really soft spoken You never notice glass unless it's broken Mister Glassman 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 'cause they've never talked Plus if she says yes, what's he gonna do? Doesn't have a car, dude, he's crude, he doesn't feel cool He's too subdued and he's scared to meet her parents too Boohoo, just another chance he blew 'Cause there's 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 Thinkin' of all the things he left unsaid till he's red Sorry Mister Glass the world has a way But 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 Glassman, Mister Glassman Glassman Mister Glassman He's really soft spoken You never notice glass unless it's broken Mister Glassman He's really soft spoken You never notice glass unless it's broken Mister Glassman 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 happy with his life Remember when he didn't ask the cutie to prom? Well, now he's got a couple kids and they're calling her mom, man Remember when he couldn't raise his hand in class? Well now he's up on stage in front of fans rappin' fast But he still gets scared and he still gets nervous 'Cause you gotta feel 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 don't know, I digress But the point I'm tryna stress is we're all just made of glass Even when we're at our best, we can break, we can split Or disappear or lose our temper, even if you think you're bullet proof I am glass and so are you Glassman, Mister Glassman Glassman Mister Glassman He's really soft spoken You never notice glass unless it's broken Mister Glassman He's really soft spoken You never notice glass unless it's broken It's hard to get by when you're feelin' so shy You gotta keep on movin' just a step at a time Mister Glassman He's really soft spoken You never notice glass unless it's broken Mister Shooby doo-wop Shooby doo-way Shooby dooby-dooby do Woah-be-dee-woah Mister Glassman He's really soft spoken Mister Glassman Mister Glassman Glassman
