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)
    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)
    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
