the night creeps into my soul in the light
and leaving me down here in the dark
i can't help but stay curled up
because i'm missing you so bad
your face becomes every corner of the room
i see your eyes in mine
i tried to keep myself busy
so my thoughts would drift off into the world
but you have this exotic power over me
that i cannot stop
when has Time changed his course
ran a little backwards, ran a little slower
i feel like i'm trapped inside a mirrorball
spinning in a backwards world all by myself
only seeing reflections of you
in my eyes
