Let Me Sleep (Next To The Mirror) — текст песни (Idlewild)

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
