Verse 1:
There’s a man inside the mirror, and he’s looking back at me
His eyes are tired and blurry, so there’s something he can’t see
A world outside the window, where a million others live
They’re the people who believe, he has so much more to give

Chorus:
And he knows this time tomorrow, he’ll be climbing in his car
Heading ‘cross the state line with some clothes and his guitar
Ready in his mind to be a thirty minute star

Verse 2:
He takes stories from his memory, and he turns them into song
Telling tales of his weakness, hoping they will make him strong
But he knows no-one could ever be as critical and grim
He don’t care for all the praise, every performance is for him

Bridge:
Only those who share the same road, can feel the pain and see the scar
Those who are searching for fulfillment, and always push themselves too far
Know exactly what it takes to be a thirty minute star

Verse 3:
There’s a man inside the mirror, knows exactly who to be
Yeah he’s someone quite familiar, and he looks a lot like me
But it takes him all his courage just to walk outside the door
‘Cos the million other people always want him to be more

Chorus 2:
And I know that you’ve all seen them, you know exactly who they are
They’re the ones who hang around at the merch stand and the bar
Waiting for their chance to be a thirty minute star
