Let Me Sleep (next To The Mirror) Lyrics - 100 Broken Windows - Idlewild

I woke up first this morning 

Ive never seen the dawn 

But I know what the world 

Looked like before 

How would I know what you said? 

Youre always first to go to bed 

Youre intent on sleeping it off 

Let me sleep next to the mirror 

I know you dont like mirrors 

When they reflect on you 

For 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 eh 

Im 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 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 Im far too critical 

Let 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 reflection 

For 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 barricade 

Im 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
