Lyrics: 
I travelled back to New York in the 90’s
My mom at 25 she looks just like me 
Saw her with her belly to the stereo 
And an intruder barely hidden behind a curtain of skin

I’m now the same age as her when she had me
Just a kid with a hairless, blue eyed baby in her arms
Little head full of music and troubled thoughts
Did you mistake her for a mirror even then? 

Daddy’s off at work, they’re alone amidst the cries and whispers for love that ring out in a life
I can hear her now: 

Baby don’t you let me go, 
Won’t you let me in?
Baby let me give you love 
Let me wipe your tears
Cuz in you I can’t help but see myself
Look at you, look at me
It’s like a…
Mirror on a time delay 

Growing up I knew that she was wounded 
So she mothered me and I mothered her 
We raised each other up 
But sometimes razed each other to the ground 
Cuz nothing hurts like a mirror  
Yet nothing heals like it  

Momma don’t you let me go, 
Won’t you let me in?
Momma let me give you love 
Let me wipe your tears
Cuz in you I can’t help but see myself
Look at you, look at me
It’s like a…
Mirror on a time delay
