[Verse 1]

I cannot stand the pain

I cannot stand the thought of losing you

To a dashboard crushed

Or a piece of steel that's shaped like me

It's always the same

I lie in bed, laugh, and die


[Verse 2]

And through the second story window

A bullet penetrates the glass

A misty silhouette

I think it looks a lot like me

You never can tell

Mirrors lie in celluloid landscapes


[Chorus]

Reflections in a window

Broken panes for faces

A movement of her lips, oh no

Untying of her laces

Gestures like this mean so much to me


[Verse 3]

Wonders never happen

Discouraged frames reveal the plot

Projector's broken, minds unwind

Electric pavement wraps around me

I'm alright

But my image melted long ago


[Chorus]

Reflections in a window

Broken panes for faces

A movement of her lips, oh no

Untying of her laces

Gestures like this mean so much to me

Gestures like this mean so much to me
