Mirror

Sometimes I
I find
The mirror isn't me
Gravity steady dragging me
You know the apple ain't far from the apple tree, yeah

Now I ain't asking for apologies
Though part of me is starting to be questioning your honesty
Always saying you ok, we ok, where we got to be
But lately it's been clear that we ain't near the spot we ought to be
We fought a couple dozen times, a dime a dozen doesn't change what's wrong
We get to making up and blocking out the conflict with our favorite song
Masking all our problems we don't solve to simply play along
Actors in the mattress, broken chemistry, covalent bond
The problem seems to be the reason I'm attracted
High on having hopes to heal your demons, I'm an addict
Keep on creeping closer when bullshit get problematic
It's a fetish, I regret, cuz that struggle I never had it
Romanticize the shit that only ever happened rarely to me
Your forks in the road, but silver spoons are on my family tree
Not gonna wait to learn what's up until I'm married and see
So do I try to keep the spark aflame or snuff the candle and leave?
Now I ain't asking for apologies
Though part of me is starting to be questioning your honesty
Always saying you ok, we ok, where we got to be
But lately it's been clear that we ain't near the spot we ought to be

Sometimes I
I find
The mirror isn't me
Gravity steady dragging me
You know the apple ain't far from the apple tree, yeah
From the apple tree, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Can I beat a dead horse 'til it's alive again?
Can looking to the future find what might of been?
I'm tired of being Solo, got a bad feeling about this
How's it sound to you the two of us could try again?
I light up still despite the fights we had about the little things
The ebb and flow of where we go, from kicking stones to wedding rings
Upsetting me's cascading from a waterfall of all your
Stress and mine combined to bind ourselves to setting sail like Spanish kings
After conquering myself, no one can step to me
I don't want you stepping on my pride, I want you next to me
I want more from us than simply sex to bring me ecstasy
You my drug, let's prove it for longer like CVS receipts
I wanna break down barriers again, is that unusual?
We buried the hatchet, but can I axe if it's unusable?
Not taking back my woes, although still, what we have is beautiful
The nail is in the coffin, scratch the casket with my cuticles
Call me a clown, but I just wanna make up
Red-nosed, but ten-toes down, and I'm laced up
Let's run it back baby, reverse it and shift our gears
Cuz objects in the mirror are closer than they appear, yeah

(Gravity steady dragging me
You know the apple ain't far from the apple tree, yeah
The mirror isn't me
Gravity steady dragging me
You know the apple ain't far from the apple tree, yeah
The mirror isn't me
Gravity steady dragging me
You know the apple ain't far from the apple tree, yeah
The mirror isn't me
Gravity steady dragging me
You know the apple ain't far from the apple tree, yeah)
