But I know what the world looked like before
I've never seen the dawn
How would I know what you said?
You're always first to go to bed
You're intent on sleeping it off
I know you don't like mirrors
When they reflect on you
Let me sleep, next to the mirror
For every word that you write
They won't mean much as barricades (They hold me down)
I'm sure that you'll be fine
Ten more years of this
I'm sure that you'll be fine
It will nearly be time
It can't take ten more years
You woke up first this morning
You told me that you had a bad dream
Like one never before
My reflection showed that I'm far too critical
What was in it?
Let me sleep next to the mirror
Don't tell me that you don't like
Don't tell me that you don't like mirrors
Looking right through your own reflection
For every word that I write
I'm sure that you'll be fine
They won't mean much as barricades (They hold me down)
Ten more years of this
It will nearly be time
I'm sure that you'll be fine
But it can't take ten more years
I woke up first this morning But I know what the world looked like before I've never seen the dawn How would I know what you said? You're always first to go to bed You're intent on sleeping it off I know you don't like mirrors When they reflect on you Let me sleep, next to the mirror For every word that you write They won't mean much as barricades (They hold me down) I'm sure that you'll be fine Ten more years of this I'm sure that you'll be fine It will nearly be time It can't take ten more years You woke up first this morning You told me that you had a bad dream Like one never before My reflection showed that I'm far too critical What was in it? Let me sleep next to the mirror Don't tell me that you don't like Don't tell me that you don't like mirrors Looking right through your own reflection For every word that I write I'm sure that you'll be fine They won't mean much as barricades (They hold me down) Ten more years of this It will nearly be time I'm sure that you'll be fine But it can't take ten more years Explain Request ×
