Idlewild - Let Me Sleep Next To The Mirror lyrics

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
