lyrics

I had a bride, I had a mistress
I had a good job, (yeah) I had a mattress
Everything I thought I'd ever need
So who am I to question anything.

I guess it was a pretty good year...a pretty good year.

Saw someone sitting in the backseat
Swore they were staring directly back at me
It was a glare I could never evade
It was a memory that reminded me of your face

The last I checked in the mirror...
When was the last time I had checked in this mirror?

I had time once I gave it away
Traded it for things I used to say
To re-read, rip apart, and re-write
Because I just wanted this to come off right

The last time I checked I was there.
Oh, the last time I had checked I was there,
I was there!

The last time I had checked in this mirror
I was looking back just as disappointed as you
With words that I have left unsaid and overdue
'Cause it looks like you, like you
The last time I had checked in a fucking mirror.
It was in a hotel, in a hotel room...

I'm not asking for an epiphany
Or significant glare directly back at me
Self-reflection was a terrible choice
But I just wanted you to make some noise

So, for tonight I'll just lay here
On my side.
On my side of the mattress.
The last time I had checked
In this mirror
I was looking back at you
The time I had checked I was on my side.
On my side, on my side of a hotel mattress...
