Stranger In My Mirror

(album: You And You Alone - 1998)

There's a stranger in my mirror
Who don't know how to behave
He keeps grinning 'bout you
And whistling tunes
While he ought to be watching me shave
We move alike and we look the same
But I swear we've got totally different brains
And the love we're in with you just makes it clearer
He used to be my twin
Now there's a stranger in my mirror

And he doesn't want to go out drinking
With all of his friends, no more
He's got both of us thinking
You're what we're living for
We've gone crazy and we can't recover
You're always on one mind or the other
I admit we should be certified
He's a little schizophrenic and so am I

There's a stranger in my mirror
Who don't know how to behave
He keeps grinning 'bout you
And whistling tunes
While he ought to be watching me shave
We move alike and we look the same
But I swear we've got totally different brains
And the love we're in with you just makes it clearer
He used to be my twin
Now there's a stranger in my mirror

[Instrumental]

And he's always doing little things
I never thought I'd do
Like looking at diamond rings
Drawing hearts and writing I love you's
Thought it was just a case of mild affection
Until I caught a glimpse of my reflection
I looked up into my own eyes
And saw someone staring back I didn't recognize

There's a stranger in my mirror
Who don't know how to behave
He keeps grinning 'bout you
And whistling tunes
While he ought to be watching me shave
We move alike and we look the same
But I swear we've got totally different brains
And the love we're in with you just makes it clearer
He used to be my twin
Now there's a stranger in my mirror
Lord, I'm in love with you
And there's a stranger in my mirror...
