Reflector
MMEADOWS Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It became clear
when I first saw your face
boy, you stood in the bright light
the right light
I came a little closer, we stood eye to eye, I
noticed when you took my hand
something wasn't quite right, might've been the lighting
but now you're here and
everything is changing, and
I won't let it phase me

It became clear
when I first heard you say
that you needed me badly
your glad rags were looking a little shabby
you needed an upgrade
I smiled and said gladly
how sad it is to see you so lonely
you and you only
but now I'm here and
I won't let it phase me, that
we two now are one thing

I, I, I know
I know that you know that
my, my, my heart
is in your pocket and
I hope that you recognize
my eyes are reflecting out from your eyes
and it's still a mystery
how every day you do what you're doing to me

It became clear
when I first spoke your name
boy, I must have been crazy
the light there shone through you so hazy
you said 'wait a minute'
how would I ever get by if it wasn't for you
oh what would I do
you set me free and
you gotta believe that
I wanna keep on singing

I, I, I know
I know that you know that
my, my, my heart is in your pocket and
I hope that you recognize
my eyes are reflecting out from your eyes




and it's still a mystery
how every day you do what you're doing to me
