Objects In the Mirror Lyrics

[Intro]
Can you turn the beat up?
A little louder
There you go

[Verse 1]
People love you when they on your mind
A thought is love's currency

And I been thinkin' 'bout her all the time
I never seen somebody put together perfectly
What would I have to do to call you mine?
Someone like you is so hard to find
You can open up your eyes, or you can walk in blind
All I ask is that you hurry, I won't hurt you, don't you worry

Listen to me, I'ma set you free
He ain't gonna break your heart again

Go through the worst to reach the ecstasy
When your imagination's on pretend

I never thought that it would feel this way
You never taught me how to heal the pain
I wish you caught me on a different day
When it was easier to be happy

[Chorus]
Just a little taste and you know she got you
Can you hide away? Can you hide away?
Sound of silence as they all just watch you
I kinda find it strange how the times have changed
I wish we could go and be
Free once, baby, you and me
We could change the world forever
And never come back again

Let's leave it all in the rear-view
Let's leave it all in the rear-view, girl

You don't have to cry
You don't have to cry

How to Format Lyrics:

  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

Despite the extended love imagery, this song is NOT about a girl.

Mac tells us the truth in his Billboard Track by Track interview that this song uses the imagery of a female to personify all his addictions, such as drugs and music.
