The Glass Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I had a vision of you, and just like that
I was left to live without it, left to live without it
I found a version of love, and just like that
I was left to live without it, left to live without it

[Pre-Chorus]
Waitin' for this storm to pass
Waitin' on this side of the glass
But I see my reflection in you, see your reflection in me
How could it be? How could it be?

[Chorus]
There is somethin' between us
Between me and you
There is somethin' between us
I see right through, I see right through

[Verse 2]
I had a version of home, and just like that
I was left to live without it, left to live without it

I had a person I loved, and just like that
I was left to live without him, left to live without him

[Pre-Chorus]
Waitin' for the storm to pass
Waitin' on this side of the glass
But I see my reflection in you, see your reflection in me
How can it be? How can it be?
[Chorus]
There is somethin' between us
Between me and you
There is somethin' between us
I see right through, I see right through

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
There is somethin' between us
Between me and you
There is somethin' between us
I see right through, I see right through

[Outro]
I had a vision of you, and just like that
I was left to live without it, left to live without it
Waitin' on this side of the glass

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

The fifth song on the Foo Fighter’s “But Here We Are,” The Glass is about a feeling of separation after losing someone. It’s like something so fragile has come between you, you can feel them there but never see them again and you have to learn that’s the way it is.
