(Look at your face) When all I could see was myself looking back at me (Reflection) And all I could do was think about sleeping next to you (Look at your face) When all I could see was myself looking back at me (Reflection) And all I could do was think about sleeping next to you What would it take to make a woman like you View a wolf like me, for what I really might be Listenin' to lyrics only hears what I allow You gotta try and make me testify for here and right now Let's have a confrontation over a cold one I'll give you conversation just to see if you can hold 'em I play so dumb Because I know some of these starstruck, small talk, art fucks is no fun I'm the blood type that goes straight for the guns Like, before you even spoke already knew what your loves like So what you thinking? Because I'm thinking we should jump into your ocean Let's go girl, this ship is sinking (Look at your face) When all I could see was myself looking back at me (Reflection) And all I could do was think about sleeping next to you (Look at your face) When all I could see was myself looking back at me (Reflection) And all I could do was think about sleeping next to you Now there's no reason to lie, I've had a lot of lovers In my reality it's impossible to avoid it But there's one reason for life Gotta provide some supper Gonna build a family just to watch someone destroy it Do you really think you wanna get to know me better Don't you see the drama, don't you feel the pressure Don't get me wrong it would be my pleasure To sing a song that could remove your shoes and your sweater Bartender let me get a shot of Beam 'Cause this girl over here is tryna get me out my jeans And she doesn't seem to believe I'm just another thief Came to take a piece and make you stutter when you breath Now girl, you too smart to be a tour mark Set to play correct from the start with your pure heart And when you're all alone, I'll sing into your phone If you don't know the words, you can make up your own The first time she met the devil was at First Avenue Went back stage with him into the dressing room Sexy ego trip, taller than expected About six foot three Seemed to thrive on his misery Critical, observant, big words Sweaty hair, sunken eyes, and thick curves She said "I'll make em smile for the simple fact that he needs it I'll make him smile just so I can kill it and eat it" You look like you were built for me You talk like you want to steal my drink You kiss like you already came And that's a Lifter Puller line for those without any game It's like damn baby, you know you can't save me But you should still tell your people that you're leaving with the band Maybe you can show me your hustle Neither one of us would be so lonely If only you would come over here and hold me I caught you tryna hide your smile behind your glass But all of your secrets become a swingset when you laugh And all of your regrets that you're carrying and burying Don't mean a damn thing if there's nobody to share them with We've been following each other all night now We ought to be all over each other like right now I don't like crowds, let's take flight now 'Cause that face that you make reminds me of my life now (Look at your face) When all I could see was myself looking back at me (Reflection) And all I could do was think about sleeping next to you (Look at your face) When all I could see was myself looking back at me (Reflection) And all I could do was think about sleeping next to you (Look at your face) (I'm only trying to find myself inside of you) When all I could see was myself looking back at me (Reflection) (I'm only trying to find myself inside of you) And all I could do was think about sleeping next to you (Look at your face) (I'm only trying to find myself inside of you) When all I could see was myself looking back at me (Reflection) (I'm only trying to find myself inside of you) And all I could do was think about sleeping next to you (Look at your face) (I'm only trying to find myself inside of you) When all I could see was myself looking back at me (Reflection) (I'm only trying to find myself inside of you) And all I could do was think about sleeping next to you (Look at your face) (I'm only trying to find myself inside of you) When all I could see was myself looking back at me (Reflection) (I'm only trying to find myself inside of you) And all I could do was think about sleeping next to you I looked into the mirror Mirror mirror on the Walls are tumbling down, walls, down Walls, down, walls, down
