An idea I’m working on…

[Verse 1]
Woke up younger than I was last night,
Skin like glass in motel light.
My footprints lift right off the ground,
Every lost thing’s gettin’ found.

[Pre-Chorus]
Mirror, mirror, what’s the game?
If I forget, was I ever the same?
No tomorrow, no rewind,
Just a reel unspooled, frame by frame, unwind.

[Chorus]
Down by the river that ran backwards,
Drank the past like a holy curse.
Every kiss fades into a handshake,
Every dream unweaves in reverse.
Floatin’ upstream where the lost things go,
Will I vanish before I know?

[Verse 2]
Met a lover, then we said goodbye,
Then she turned to a stranger’s eye.
I unsaid all my favorite lines,
Every scar fades like pantomime.

[Pre-Chorus]
Mirror, mirror, tell me true,
Am I leaving or passing through?
No more echoes, no regret,
Just a ghost of the past I ain’t met yet.

[Chorus]
Down by the river that ran backwards,
Drank the past like a holy curse.
Every kiss fades into a handshake,
Every dream unweaves in reverse.
Floatin’ upstream where the lost things go,
Will I vanish before I know?

[Bridge]
If I reach the start, do I disappear?
Or was the end just bringin’ me here?
If I never was, then who’s to blame?
Or is this just a trick of the frame?

[Outro]
The river hums, the current sways,
Unwriting every song I’ve played.
And when I fade, don’t say my name,
I was just a ripple in reverse’s game.
