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
