Brilliant, brilliant song. I think it might be about not worrying about the future (will you go to heaven etc.) so Chris is maybe saying "let's forget it". Also, he might be saying it's better not to know your future as he says "son, don't ask".
Another view is that he first verse is almost like an old-time story and he may have "seen his future" in the water and be telling others not to do the same. It could be a Viva la vida style story
