Lyrics
[verse]
He's got a jacket like the poster on your bedroom wall
Copies every move he's seen up on the silver screen and all
Practicing his walk, rehearsing every pose
Trying to be a hero everybody already knows
[chorus]
He's a mirror man, mirror man, reflecting someone else
Mirror man, mirror man, forgetting who he felt
Chasing the reflection of a face that's not his own
Mirror man, when will you be seen as you have grown
[verse]
Girls line up to catch a look at his rehearsed disguise
Never see the real one hiding right behind his eyes
He's so busy being someone lifted off a screen
He forgets there's something better he could be, I mean
[chorus]
He's a mirror man, mirror man, reflecting someone else
Mirror man, mirror man, forgetting who he felt
Chasing the reflection of a face that's not his own
Mirror man, when will you be seen as you have grown
[bridge]
Step outside the frame and let the copy fade
Nobody remembers imitations that they made
The one thing this whole world is waiting still to see
Is the man who finally decides that he'll just be
[chorus]
He's a mirror man, mirror man, reflecting someone else
Mirror man, mirror man, forgetting who he felt
Chasing the reflection of a face that's not his own
Mirror man, when will you be seen as you have grown
