0:09I woke up first this morning
0:11I've never seen the dawn
0:14But I know what the world looked like before
0:18How would I know what you said
0:20You're always first to go to bed
0:25You're intent on sleeping it off
0:28Let me sleep next to the mirror
0:34I know you don't like mirrors
0:39When they reflect on you
0:45For every word that you write
0:48They won't mean much as barricades
0:54With every word that you write
0:57They don't mean much as barricades
1:03For every word that you write
1:06It won't mean much as barricades
1:12For every word that you write
1:15They won't mean much when they barricade yeah eh
1:21I'm sure that you'll be fine
1:25Ten more years of this
1:28It will nearly be time
1:30I'm sure that you'll be fine
1:34It can't take ten more years
1:39You woke up first this morning
1:41You told me that you had a bad dream
1:45Like one never before
1:49What was in it
1:51My reflection showed that I'm far too critical
1:57Let me sleep next to the mirror
2:03Don't tell me that you don't like mirrors
2:07Don't tell me that you don't like
2:10Looking right through your own reflection
2:15For every word that I write
2:18They won't mean much as barricades
2:24For every word that you write
2:28It won't mean much as barricades
2:32For every word that you write
2:36It won't mean much as barricades
2:42For every word that you write
2:45They won't mean much when they barricade
2:51I'm sure that you'll be fine
2:55Ten more years of this
2:58It will nearly be time
3:00I'm sure that you'll be fine
3:04But it can't take ten more years
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
