The Same Star - Belle & Sebastian

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

Cause 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
