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 bed 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 are 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 are haunting me
they're all I see
oh let me be you mirrored sea
your waves are haunting me
oh mirrored sea leave me be
