[Verse 1]
I looked into the mirror and said nothing to myself
‘Cause I don’t talk to strangers
But there’s something in your eyes that reminds me
Of a boy who used to ride his bicycle through my neighborhood
He has the same mouth, but a different smile
The other one would last, it never rushed by
There was a light in it that I don’t see in you
He has the same face, but this one doesn’t shine
The other one would glow over the simplest things
I’m looking for him, and if you see him first
[Chorus]
Tell him no
Don’t get on that plane that’s made of nothing but lies
And tell him no
Don’t trade happiness for some fantasy
And what they’ll never tell him is that he’ll want to come back
And the bicycle and his friends won’t be there

[Verse 2]
No, no, it’ll happen just like they say it does:
You succeed, and you’ll feel like you‘ve failed
And you’ll never stop feeling far away from home
The numbers won’t add up with everything you lost
‘Cause you traded happy days for days that hurt much more
What a terrible deal you made

[Chorus]
Tell him no
Don’t get on that plane that’s made of nothing but lies
And tell him no
Don’t trade happiness for some fantasy
And what they’ll never tell him is that he’ll want to come back
And the bicycle and his friends won’t be there
