Let Me Sleep (Next To The Mirror) - Idlewild

I woke up first this morning

But I know what the world looked like before

I’ve never seen the dawn

How would I know what you said?

You’re always first to go to bed

You’re intent on sleeping it off

I know you don’t like mirrors

When they reflect on you

Let me sleep, next to the mirror

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

I’m sure that you’ll be fine

It will nearly be time

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

My reflection showed that I’m far too critical

What was in it?

Let me sleep next to the mirror

Don’t tell me that you don’t like

Don’t tell me that you don’t like mirrors

Looking right through your own reflection

For every word that I write

I’m sure that you’ll be fine

They won’t mean much as barricades (They hold me down)

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
