lyrics

If you turn around, we go back
Like a train runs on a track
We used to put that record on
Long ago but not that long...

And now your singin' a song
That I knew when I was young
We can only see ourselves
In the people we love
And its a strange kind of mirror
Yeah its a strange kind of mirror

Well I live through you
And you live through me
I wouldn't know me
If I didn't know you
And we live what we see
We live vicariously
We can only see ourselves
We can only see ourselves
And it's a strange kind of mirror

Well we pull as we connect
We absorb as we reflect
And there is another side
And its not that hard to find...

But the more that I hate
The more I can't relate
There must be something in me
That I don't wanna see
And you remind me
You remind me
Of how bad I can be
And it's a strange kind of mirror

And to the people we discard
I know your workin' hard
But you don't talk like me
We sure as hell don't agree
And I can tell
That your angry
But that just makes me angry

But the more that I love
The more I'll rise above
There must be something in me
That I'm trying to see
And you remind me
You remind me
Of how good I could be
And it's a strange kind of mirror
