Mirrors

Verse

Fifteen summers, dust on my knees

Radio crackling through mango trees

Lemonade sweat on a paper cup

Streetlights humming, waking up

Mama's rosary swinging from the mirror

Grandpa's Chevy, engine getting clearer

We chased the sun down Cordero Lane

Barefoot laughing in the rain

Pre-Chorus

Where did the fireflies go

Now that the porch light's low

Do we still shine the way we did before

Chorus

We are mirrors, we are mirrors

Holding summer in our eyes

Every young face, every heartbeat

Shining back before it dies

We are mirrors, we are mirrors

Bright as June and just as brief

Every reflection of that season

Still lives on in disbelief

Verse

Twenty years gone, same corner store

Different names above the door

The jukebox skips the song we knew

Still tastes like guava and cheap perfume

My daughter's laughing at the fountain spray

Chasing shadows the same old way

I see myself in her paper crown

Spinning free before the sun goes down

Pre-Chorus

Where did the fireflies go

Now that the porch light's low

Do we still shine the way we did before

Chorus

We are mirrors, we are mirrors

Holding summer in our eyes

Every young face, every heartbeat

Shining back before it dies

We are mirrors, we are mirrors

Bright as June and just as brief

Every reflection of that season

Still lives on in disbelief

Bridge

Maybe we don't fade, we just repeat

Every child that dances in the heat

Every kiss beneath a string of light

Is us again, alive tonight

Chorus

We are mirrors, we are mirrors

Holding summer in our eyes

Every young face, every heartbeat

Shining back before it dies

We are mirrors, we are mirrors

Bright as June and just as brief

Every reflection of that season

Still lives on in disbelief
