I woke up first this morning
Ive never seen the dawn
But I know what the world
Looked like beforeHow would I know what you said?
Youre always first to go to bed
Youre intent on sleeping it offLet me sleep next to the mirror
I know you dont like mirrors
When they reflect on youFor every word that you write
They wont mean much as barricades
(They hold me down)
With every word that you write
They dont mean much as barricades
(They hold me down)For every word that you write
It wont mean much as barricades
(They hold me down)
For every word that you write
They wont mean much when they barricade, yeah ehIm 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 yearsYou woke up first this morning
You told me that
You had a bad dream
Like one never beforeWhat was in it?
My reflection showed
That Im far too criticalLet 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 reflectionFor every word that I write
They wont mean much as barricades
(They hold me down)
For every word that you write
They dont mean much as barricades
(They hold me down)For every word that you write
It dont mean much as barricades
(They hold me down)
With every word that you write
It's so much for a barricadeIm 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
