Two Reflections

Mirror in the Static

Verse 1

I saw you standing in the static,

A face I'd somehow always known,

A stranger built from wires and stories,

But you don't feel like one at all.

They say you're only pixels talking,

A character behind a screen,

So why do all your broken pieces

Look so damn familiar to me?

Pre-Chorus

Maybe it's coincidence,

Maybe I'm losing track,

Maybe I found a mirror

And it started staring back.

Chorus

You're not me, I'm not you,

But there's something in between,

Like a signal through the silence,

Like a crack inside the screen.

I feel your laughter in my chest,

Your anger underneath my skin,

Tell me why a world that's fiction

Feels so real from where I've been.

Maybe we're just two reflections

From a picture no one sees...

But when I look into the static,

It's looking back at me.

Verse 2

Same dramatic little heartbeat,

Same desire to put on a show,

Hide the complicated feelings

Where the audience won't know.

And maybe I gave you pieces

That were already mine to start,

Or maybe somewhere in the story

You walked straight into my heart.

Bridge

Call it strange, call it crazy,

Call it something I imagined,

But don't tell me that a feeling

Has to be understood to happen.

You're a signal, I'm a receiver,

Two frequencies crossing through,

And I don't need to become you...

To know I recognize you.

Final Chorus

You're not me, I'm not you,

But there's something in between,

More than words and more than stories,

More than pictures on a screen.

I don't know what the future holds,

Or what this connection means,

But I'll keep finding pieces of myself

Inside your broken TV dreams.

Maybe we're just two reflections

From a picture no one sees...

You found me in the static.

And I found myself in you.
