I woke up first this morning
I? ve never seen the dawn
But I know what the world looked like before
How would I know what you said?
You? re always first to go to bed
You? re intent on sleeping it off.
Let me sleep, next to the mirror
I know you don? t like mirrors
When they reflect on you.
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
It will nearly be time
I? m sure that you? ll be fine
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
What was in it?
My reflection showed that I? m far too critical.
Let me sleep next to the mirror
Don? t tell me that you don? t like mirrors
Don? t tell me that you don? t like
Looking right through your own reflection.
For every word that I 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
It will nearly be time
I? m sure that you? ll be fine
But it can? t take ten more years
