The Same Star

(album: How To Solve Our Human Problems, Pt. 2 - 2018)

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
