Belle and Sebastian
The Same Star
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 (I don't even see your face)
You evaporated from my city
Maybe we were friendly once (Maybe we were friendly once)
I think your overtures were laced with pity
Now I see another side (Now I see another side)
Now I am immune to his enchantment
He came in on a winter tide (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
Cause I can feel your energy (I can feel your energy)
Reveal yourself if you're beside me
Reveal every sleight of hand (Feeling every sleight of hand)
And show me what the fates decided
I made a world on shifting sand (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
