Passion Pit - Mirrored Sea lyrics

Well he called the whole thing
Such a wild mistake
He said he didn't mean no harm
Well it was a big to do
But nothing else was new
His past checkered like checkerboards
In Central Park you do good in the light and
The bad in the dark
Good men are scarce and few
But always passing through

Oh, you mirrored sea
Your waves, they're haunting me
They're all I see
Oh, let me be you mirrored sea
Your waves, they’re haunting me
Oh, mirrored sea leave me be

Born with a chance that everybody takes
With all risk and hardly any reward
Bounce off the wall of your teens
Like in a pinball machine
Slip-ups in this town are like
A sentence to life
Like overheard insults or a cheating wife
And then it's down for the count
The lost that won't be found
