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
|
