"Glass Half Full of the Sea"
lyrics and music by Benjamin Newman

/ G - C D / / C D - Em / C - D - /

She says she met him at a beachside party
Every time she talks about it she chokes up
She says he got under her skin, that's why she let him take her in
As she stares into her cup

She says: Some days I don't know which way home is
But I don't think I'm gonna lose my grip
We've got the house, we've got the beach, we can make the best of each
And she takes another sip

	/ G D C D / C - G D / C D Em C / - D G - /

	Are you the one who sees the glass half empty?
	Some give in to sorrow, but that's not me
	I'm a lucky girl with one foot in each world
	And a glass half full of the sea

She says: That day he took a part of me with him
You've heard the story, you all know how it goes
But it's no skin off my back, we just stuck it on the rack
Next to our ordinary clothes

And I went a little crazy just watching it hang there
Why did he have to go and make me choose?
A free creature or a wife, either way I'd lose a life
That I never want to lose

	Are you the one who sees the glass half empty...?

She says that things are working out all right now
Though her parents don't know what to think
It's been another year, and she sheds a little tear
That splashes in her drink

And she says: We go diving almost every weekend
And we've got our little baby boy
Still I feel the ache I know I'm never gonna shake
But my tears are tears of joy

	I'm not the one who sees the glass half empty
	I've got both my loves, that's what makes me free
	And since I can decide, I'm staying by your side
	With a glass half full of the sea
