Lyrics The Same Star - Belle & 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
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
