Talking in the Mirror – Words and music by Phil Klahn
You don’t have the time, can’t be touched by human need
You’ve developed such a high sense of useless vanity
But I see in your eyes, you confirmed your greatest fears
Now it won’t be too long ‘til you’re talking in the mirror
You once had it all, never had to be alone
But you must have heard the steps coming from the danger zone
And you question the fact that you’re too old for tears
Now it won’t be too long ‘til you’re talking in the mirror
You last fling left you down, down and buried in the truth
But you’re easily pulled up, you haven’t lost your youth
You imagine the comments that you once more will hear
Well, it won’t be too long ‘til you’re talking in the mirror
Things can only get better, you’re running with a different crowd
A whole new set of values, another step too loud
And once again you’ve sworn all the vows of the new year
But it won’t be too long ‘til you’re talking to yourself
