I woke up first this morning
Ive never seen the dawn
But I know what the world looked like before
How would I know what you said?
Youre always first to go to bed
Youre intent on sleeping it off
Let me sleep, next to the mirror
I know you dont like mirrors
When they reflect on you
For every word that you write
They wont mean much as barricades (They hold me down)
Im sure that youll be fine
Ten more years of this
It will nearly be time
Im sure that youll be fine
It cant 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 Im far too critical
Let me sleep next to the mirror
Dont tell me that you dont like mirrors
Dont tell me that you dont like
Looking right through your own reflection
For every word that I write
They wont mean much as barricades (They hold me down)
Im sure that youll be fine
Ten more years of this
It will nearly be time
Im sure that youll be fine
But it cant take ten more years
