the same star
Singer: belle & sebastian
mirror
mirror on the wall
i saw another girl's reflection
kingdoms rise and kingdoms fall
but maybe that's just my projection
i used to love those funny ways
i thought i understood the real him
they'd last forever
good old days
it took another me to perceive him
if i can do it once
i can do it again
in orbit round the same star til we fly apart
feeling blue
and i'll do it again
in orbit round the same star til we fall apart
i don't even see your face
you evaporated from my city
maybe we were friendly once
i think your overtures were laced with pity
now i see another side
now i am immune to his enchantment
he came in on a winter tide
he blew away
he took a warmer current
you can hold me back
you can give me a list of complaints
you suggest i find somebody for a remedy
but there's nothing so wrong with me
you leave the room
suddenly the air is clear
spirit
spirit speak to me
i'm looking for a voice to guide me
and i can feel your energy
reveal yourself if you're beside me
reveal every sleight of hand
and show me what the fates decided
i made a world on shifting sand
we came apart
our worlds collided
if i can do it once
i can do it again
in orbit round the same star til we fly apart
feeling blue
and i'll do it again
in orbit round the same star til we fall apart
