Morning sun risin’
On an empty avenue
No surprise
Memorizin’ faces I once new

But there’s a stranger
In the mirror
Seems familiar
Like a sketch
That I once drew

I thought time
Was my partner
Now my clock is frozen so it seems
Used to be
My own best friend was me

There’s a stranger
In the mirror
Seems familiar
Like a sketch
That I once drew
Where am I now
When I need me
Where am I now
When I need me

I been livin’ for myself
I been around or so it seems
Used to be
My own best friend was me

But there’s this thing in the mirror now
Seems familiar
Like a sketch
That I once drew
Where am I now
When I need me
Where am I now
When I need me
