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 --- The Same Star - Belle and Sebastian
