“Through the Looking Glass” (prev. unissued alternate version) Lyrics
“One, two, three.”
You call my name, then you run for protection
I reach out to hold you, but it’s just your reflection
Through the looking glass
You’ve been lookin’ at your life through a mirror
It’s time you started seein’ things a little bit clearer
Than through the looking glass
Let me break through, girl
I still love you, girl
I think you love me by the way you come on, girl
Then I turn around for a minute, you’re gone, girl
Through the looking glass
[break]
I’ve got some things that I’m tryin’ to show you
But you fade away, how can I get to know you?
Through the looking glass
You’re looking through me
Like you never knew me
You call my name then you run for protection
I reach out to hold you but it’s just your reflection
Through the looking glass
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
