[Verse 1] A thousand grins crowd the silver pane Each one wearing my Sunday name They wave from a life I haven't begun Bright little answers, every one [Pre-Chorus] I count the doors in the glassy wall Every face says, “Pick me,” all But the room stays still, the room stays still Till I give one face my will [Chorus] Pick one—look back! Choose one—snap! A thousand futures in a polished frame One turns around when I call its name Pick one—step through! Make it true! All those happy faces, lined in a row One looks back when I say, “Let’s go” [Verse 2] One wears my coat in a seaside town One takes the train and never gets down One tells a joke at a crowded table One makes a mess, then calls it a fable [Pre-Chorus] I could keep every maybe in sight A perfect parade that lasts all night But the room stays still, the room stays still Till I give one face my will [Chorus] Pick one—look back! Choose one—snap! A thousand futures in a polished frame One turns around when I call its name Pick one—step through! Make it true! All those happy faces, lined in a row One looks back when I say, “Let’s go” [Bridge] Mirror, mirror, hold your pose You can’t choose where my footsteps go I’ll take the grin with the crooked tooth And trade the perfect for something true [Final Chorus] Pick one—look back! Choose one—snap! A thousand futures in a polished frame One turns around when I call its name Pick one—step through! Make it true! All those happy faces, let them go One looks back—and I say, “Hello” [Outro] One looks back I look too
