Mirrored Sea

Well he called the whole thing such a wild mistake

He said he didn't mean no harm

Well it was a big to-do

But nothing else was new

His past checkered like checkerboards in Central park

You do good in the light and the bad in the dark

Good men are scarce and few

They're always passing through

Oh you mirrored sea

Your waves, they're haunting me

They're all I see

Oh let me be you mirrored sea

Your waves, they're haunting me

Oh mirrored sea leave me be

Born with a chance that everybody takes

With all risk and hardly any reward

Bounce off the walls of your teens

Like in a pinball machine

Slip-ups in this town are like a sentence to life

Like overheard insults or a cheating wife

And then it's down for the count

The lost that won't be found

Oh you mirrored sea

Your waves, they're haunting me

They're all I see

Oh let me be you mirrored sea

Your waves, they're haunting me

Oh mirrored sea leave me be

(Everyone's alone...)

Oh you mirrored sea

Your waves, they're haunting me

They're all I see

Now let me be, you mirrored sea

Your waves, they're haunting me

Out in the sea, leave me be
