Lyrics – Mirror Lane

The Shore

Walking alone through the valley of a bottle
Where every sign is just a mirror of myself
I can’t remember how I got here
I can’t remember why I chose this road
My feet were tied to fear that’s long gone

My throat is choked with the dust that cloaks the land
I’m a fool in an hourglass, throwing frozen sand
I can’t remember how I got here
My blurry vision fails to realize
I’m the poison flowing through my veins

Take me down to the water
Wash away my sins
Show me something true that’s worth living for
Take me back to the shore

Take me down to the water
Wash away my sins
Show me something true that’s worth living for
Take me back

Take me down to the water
Wash away my sins
Show me something true that’s worth living for
Take me back to the shore

Checking Me Out

Saturday night, I got my hair just right
And I’m flashin’ my dancin’ shoes
I got my zebra pants with a buttoned-down shirt
On my way to bust some brand new moves
And it feels like I got a golden ticket to the moon
On an elevator up to the stars
‘Cause I’ve been working all week just to make ends meet
I’m gonna party till the sun comes up

And I know, I see it in your faces
I look like a joker to you
You’re laughing but the joke’s on you
‘Cause you can’t dance the way that I do
I know you just can’t face it
Keep fakin’ that smile
And tell yourself that I’m just checking in
But all the girls are checking me out
Yeah all the girls are checking me out
All the girls are checking me

Dancing like my panties in a tumble dryer
Man, I feel so seductive
Uh, whatever
Sweatin’ like a hose in a firefight
And all the ladies start loosin’ their minds
Yeah right
And all I want, all I need is a beat to get down
I spend most of my time just waiting in line
The music sets me free

Oh my God, look at that guy, what is he doing?
I don’t know, girl, is he actually wearing zebra pants?
Wait wait wait, he’s coming over
Hey ladies
Hi
Let me break it down for you like, hah! Woo!
Oh my God, what is he doing?
Oh no!
You like what you see?
Oh God, it’s so embarrassing!
Shorty, I’m just warmin’ up!
I can’t even watch!
Now let me spin and freeze! Woo!
Okay!
Quit playin’, Baby, quit playin’!
Hey, pretty good!
What you standin’ ’round for?
Woo, uhuh!
You think I look like a clown?
Well guess what, I don’t give a F***!

And I know, I see it in your faces
I look like a joker to you
You’re laughing but the joke’s on you
‘Cause you can’t dance the way that I do
I know you just can’t face it
Keep on fakin’ that smile
And tell yourself that I’m just checking in
But all the girls are checking me out
Yeah all the girls are checking me out
Yeah all the girls are checking me

Don't Just Wanna Dance

High heels and a venomous smile
She glides like an alligator queen
Devilish eyes seem to reel me in
Damn it she’s got me hypnotised
I’ve gotta make a move to prove I’m not running away
I’m not part of your game
I’ll put you to shame
Cause Honey, I’m not prey

I’m lookin’ for more than just one till four in the morning
I’ve had that so many times
But somethin’ about you makes me think
I’m willin’ to give it a chance

But I Don’t Just Wanna Dance
If you want me
You’ve gotta show me more than just your body
Cause I Don’t Just Wanna Dance
If you want me
You’ve gotta show me more
Cause I Don’t Just Wanna Dance
Just Wanna Dance No I don’t
Just Wanna Dance No I don’t
Just Wanna Dance
No I Don’t Just Wanna Dance
Just Wanna Dance No I don’t
Just Wanna Dance No I don’t
Just Wanna Dance
No I Don’t Just Wanna Dance

Lips like cherry pie
Your tongue’s a tangerine dream
Hips make me wanna die
Oh and I can already hear you already hear you screamin’ my name
Man I feel like takin’ you home
But I’m tellin’ you now before we leave

I’m lookin’ for more than just one till four in the morning
I’ve had that so many times
But somethin’ about you makes me think
I’m willin’ to give it a chance

But I Don’t Just Wanna Dance
If you want me
You’ve gotta show me more than just your body
Cause I Don’t Just Wanna Dance
If you want me
You’ve gotta show me more
Cause I Don’t Just Wanna Dance
Just Wanna Dance No I don’t
Just Wanna Dance No I don’t
Just Wanna Dance
I Don’t Just Wanna Dance
Just Wanna Dance No I don’t
Just Wanna Dance No I don’t
Just Wanna Dance
No I Don’t Just Wanna Dance

Gym Class Bottoms

Half past six
And I’m rollin’ up to my door
Flick that switch
Kick my shoes to the floor
All day long
Those clothes feel too tight
But it ain’t a problem
Gym Class Bottoms
Will make me feel just right
They’re loose fit nit
And stretchy at the seams
The kind that make you
Wanna twerk out
D’you know what I mean
If you’re working 9 to 5
And the news is killing your vibe
Well it ain’t a problem
Gym Class Bottoms
Will make you feel just right
Can I get an

Ooo
My sweet elastic dream
Ooo
Sweat don’t matter to me
Ooo
My sweet elastic dream
Those sweatpants set me free
Gym Class Bottoms
Make me feel just right

Eight in the mornin’
I’m strollin’ out of my door
My boss is callin’
He’s never done that before
He’s sayin’
Jim got sick
John’s on a trip
Joe’s on holiday
There’s no real use in me showin’ up
I can work from home today in

Ooo
My sweet elastic dream
Ooo
Sweat don’t matter to me
Ooo
My sweet elastic dream
Those sweatpants set me free
Gym Class Bottoms
Make me feel just right

When I get back home
Gotta set the tone
And I slip right into my
Gym Class Bottoms
‘Cause all day long
My pants are too tight
And they’re not as soft as my
Gym Class Bottoms
I’ll be chilling soon
In my living room
When I’m feelin’ nude in my
Gym Class Bottoms
And workin’ out
Just ain’t workin’ out
Unless I’m twerkin’ out in my
Gym Class Bottoms

Who’s got them

If you just can’t live without them
Let me know I’m not alone say
Gym Class Bottoms

Those sweatpants set me free
Gym Class Bottoms
Make me feel just
Ooo
My sweet elastic dream
Ooo
Sweat don’t matter to me
Ooo
My sweet elastic dream
Those sweatpants set me free
Gym Class Bottoms
Make me feel just right

Strike a Match

You caught me looking through the window
At the light across your face
And every way the wind blows
It leads me back to you
Should we do this, should we give it one more chance
Every time we try a different way it ends the same
We’ve been through this, we’ve been at this point before
And we know this is easy for you and me

Strike a Match
And hold it up to what we were
Let’s forget we started foolin’ round again

Here we are again, standing at the edge
We both know we were never meant to be friends
And all along we just held on
In fear of letting go
Should we do this, should we give it one more chance
Every time we try a different way it ends the same
We’ve been through this, we’ve been at this point before
And we know this is easy for you and me

Strike a Match
And hold it up to what we were
Let’s forget we started foolin’ round again

Never Bring Me Down

It’s so easy to say it’s not your fault
You’re making the same excuse
There’s a million ways to play it safe baby
And playin’ it safe is what you do
You keep wasting your time on the same old lines
Baby that’s not gonna fly

Words don’t matter that much to me
Take a look at yourself
Throw your stones and cast your spells
You can try all you want
You’re Never Gonna Bring Me Down

You assume it’s all been handed to me
On a gold-plated silver spoon
You can’t stand the thought that maybe
Hard work is what it took
You hate your job, your so-called “friends”
And you take it out on me
I don’t care what floats your boat darling
I’ll carry on my own way
You keep wasting your time on the same old lines
Baby, that’s not gonna fly

Words don’t matter that much to me
Take a look at yourself
Throw your stones and cast your spells
You can try all you want
You’re Never Gonna Bring me Down

Words don’t matter that much to me
Take a look at yourself
Throw your stones and cast your spells
You can try all you want
You’re Never Gonna Bring Me Down

Being Me

I’ve been told I should just give up
And find another way
I’ve been told I’m not enough
Go get a real job
They say I’m far too loud, they want to shoot me down
Shake me out of my dreams
They say I’m much too young to know what’s best for me
Well fuck what they say

I don’t need you to like me
I don’t need you to care
I got used to the fact that I piss you off
Cause I like being me

I like being me
I like being me

I know it’s not easy to be around
When I’m up in my clouds
Rain will fall but rarely hit the ground
My dreams are my reality
You will see what you want to see
You just think it’s all a passing phase
Well fuck what you say

I don’t need you to like me
I don’t need you to care
I got used to the fact that I piss you off
Cause I like being me

Cause I like being me
I, I like
Cause I like being me
I like being me

Take My Money

Woke up early in the evening
Two girls passed out on my couch
Fat beats murdered my apartment
Cleaning lady wants to walk out the door
White snow all over the bathroom
Gotta get some clothes and be on my way
My boy’s been callin’ gotta get to the club
My car’s been stallin’ but the party don’t stop
“You’re not getting in son, you’ve had too much!”
“Stop wasting my time, buddy!
Just shut up and Take My Money!”

I feel like dancin’ in the sunlight
Don’t care what they all say
I feel like dancin’ in the sunlight
I don’t care what I gotta pay
I feel like dancin’ in the sunlight
Don’t care what they all say
I feel like dancin’ in the sunlight
I don’t care
“Shut up and Take My Money!”

Walk up to the bar to get wasted
Huge bottle of Belvedere
Ladies lovin’ the VIP
Haters gonna hate but I just don’t care
Time to get down I’m dancin’ with the DJ
Lettin’ loose with my hands in the air
Girls been looking tryna get where I’m at
They’ve all been guessin’ but I’m already set
She’s wearin’ it black, playin’ hard to get
“Look, I know you’re a honey bunny!”
“Just shut up and Take My Money!”

Good Ol' Days

Back in the day shooting hoops with my friends
Wishing that summer would never end
Ice cream dripping down, parents out of town
Cops on our case cause the bass is too loud
Looking back, I still see your face
And that song takes me right to that place thinking

Baby, do you remember you and me
Thought we’d last for eternity
Way before we started following dreams
We were living life so carefree
Back in the Good Ol’ Days

Cruising around in my white Corvette
Taping favorite songs on my blank cassettes
Riding radio waves all the way to the beach
1st to 2nd base in the back seat
Talking ’bout the road ahead
With a breeze building up
The sunset’s catching our tears
And no amount of wishing could put your hand back on mine
Now I’m looking back, I still see your face
And that song takes me right to that place thinking

Baby, do you remember you and me
Thought we’d last for eternity
Way before we started following dreams
We were living life so carefree
Back in the Good Ol’

Baby, do you remember you and me
Thought we’d last for eternity
Way before we started following dreams
We were living life so carefree
Back in the Good Ol’ Days

Dirty Shirt

It’s the weekend you’re shopping around
Trying on clothes in the lost and found
Safe to say you’re not looking for quality
You do it for the novelty tell me I’m wrong
You change your mind back and forth
Leave the shoes scattered across the floor
Wish one of us would clean up this mess you made
So you can walk out the door

Put me on, show me off
Spin around, just don’t stop
Wear me out, take me off
You contemplate returning me

I’m just a dirty shirt in your cute collection
Always got your eyes on the next big deal
You wear it but you get no satisfaction
So out of touch with how you feel

Put me on, show me off
Spin around, just don’t stop
Wear me out, take me off
You contemplate returning me

Wear me like a dirty shirt
Like a dirty shirt
Wear me like a dirty shirt
Wear me like a dirty shhh…

Put me on, show me off
Spin around, just don’t stop
Wear me out, take me off
You contemplate returning me

Lemony Fresh

Walking downtown on main street
Shades pulled down, feeling high as a kite
Girls walk by, they give me a smile
Let’s forget red lights for a while
Rolling out of bars, dancing through the cars
Now that you’re gone

I was wrong thinking this could work
Well I guess there just ain’t no remedy left
Life goes on even without you
Now I blocked you on Instagram
And I feel Lemony Fresh
Woohoo Lemony Fresh
Woohoo Lemony Fresh

Talking to my man Ricardo
There’s a party going down at the slip and slide
Joe’s working the door, eyes on the prize
We’re out to crash ladies night
Dancing through the cars, lighting up cigars
Now that you’re gone

Sunshine

I can feel it getting colder
I can feel it on my skin
See the shadow on my shoulder
Feel the darkness fading in
You’ve been slowly changing color
Made me guess who you are
And I’m betting every dollar
That you knew from the start

Yeah I’ve been high on sunshine
Far too long
Yeah I’ve been high on sunshine
All along
Baby I’ve been high on sunshine
Far too long
Yeah I’ve been high on sunshine
And now you’re gone

Guess I should have seen it coming
Should have seen it from afar
Now the clouds are slowly crumbling
Tainted by who you really are
It’s a beautiful illusion
All your colors in the sky
What a pitiful conclusion
As you’re slowly passing by

Yeah I’ve been high on sunshine
Far too long
Yeah I’ve been high on sunshine
All along
Baby I’ve been high on sunshine
Far too long
Yeah I’ve been high on sunshine
And now you’re gone
