Let Me Sleep (Next to the Mirror)

Let Me Sleep (Next to the Mirror) - 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

With every word that you write

They don't mean much as barricades

For every word that you write

It won't mean much as barricades

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

For every word that you write

It won't mean much as barricades

For every word that you write

It won't mean much as barricades

For every word that you write

They won't mean much when they 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
