Reflection from Reflections EP by Dolly Mavies

I’ve been sleeping in
You’ve been sleeping on my side
We were younger then
Always dreaming of a better time
I thought we could sail the world
But I’m scared of the sea
And I don’t want to jump in here

You say you’re getting old
And you want to settle down
And you don’t want to be alone
But I can’t always be around
And it’s not like I don’t love you
I just can’t do this right now
And if it’s too much to ask
Don’t say it out loud

I’ve become a memory
Of a better time
When I lived in your mind
‘cause I was someone then
and you were doing fine
so what’s happening, happening here?

You say you’re getting old
And you want to settle down
And you don’t want to be alone
But I can’t always be around
And it’s not like I don’t love you
I just can’t do this right now
And if it’s too much to ask
Please don’t say it’s too much to ask
And if it’s too much to ask
Don’t say it out loud

You say you’re getting old
And you need to settle down
And you don’t want to move along
But you can’t always wait around
And it’s not like you won’t love me
Just not like you love me now
And if it’s too much to ask
Please don’t say it’s too much to ask
And if it’s too much to ask
Don’t say it out loud
