lyrics

Looking in the mirror I see eyes that aren’t mine
‘Cause mine aren’t sad or look away
My eyes dance all the time
They are deep, they see beyond
Shine like rainbow dew
I’m not quite sure whose eyes those are
They must belong to you

You looked in my eyes
And there’s no words could quite express
The line of vision crystal clear
The “look of love” I guess
Standing still
In neon dreams
Sight a gift no doubt
I don’t know what happened then
The “look of love” went out

Bridge
I need a storm of tears
To wash your dust out of my eyes
It’s clouding my perception
It’s mirroring your lies
Return me to my state of grace, that’s where I want to be
Who is that in the mirror and what have you done with me?

Funny looking out and the world it looks the same
This mirror is a mystery
A stranger’s hoax, a game
Maybe one day my tears will flow
Wash the pain away
And the mirror will reflect
My eyes of yesterday
Looking out into the crowd
I know that there will come a day
When someone kind will walk with me

Perhaps along the Champs-Elysees
When he looks into my eyes
Past the pain I see
I know my reflection once again
Belongs to me
