lyrics

[Verse 1]

In a world without a mirror
Every story that you hear
Is ceremonial: the more it's told, the more's revealed
Cleopatra's on her bed, waterdrop on her hip
Like an oasis in the desert where we slip
She said she didn't have a heart
So she'd etched one on her chest
And as I kissed her there
She said, "I think it's coming back."
How do we appear in our mirrors
Through the shame of our lies?
Tonight, we're beautiful in one another's eyes

[Chorus]

Dance like no one's watching
Sing like no one's listening
Dance like no one's watching
Sing like no one's listening

[Verse 2]

What you may not want to hear
Could be what you're looking for
What you hate and fear
Could be standing at your door
In a world without a mirror
Other senses lend themselves to perception
She says, "I'm simply your reflection..."

[Chorus]

Dance like no one's watching
Sing like no one's listening
Dance like no one's watching
Sing like no one's listening

[Post-Chorus]

And we'll say:
La da da da da da da
La da da da da da da
La da da da da da da
We are so lovely
La da da da da da da
La da da da da da da
La da da da da da da
We are so lovely

[Outro]

I am simply your reflection
I am simply you
I am simply your reflection
I am simply you
