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)
With every word that you write
They don't mean much as barricades
(They hold me down)

For every word that you write
It won't mean much as barricades
(They hold me down)
For every word that you write
They won't mean much when they barricade, yeah eh

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)
For every word that you write
They don't mean much as barricades
(They hold me down)

For every word that you write
It don't mean much as barricades
(They hold me down)
With every word that you write
It's so much for a barricade

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
