Time takes its crazy toll
And how does your mirror grow
You better watch yourself when you jump into it
Cause the mirror's gonna steal your soul
I wonder how it came to be my friend
That someone just like you has come again
You'll never, never know how close you came
Until you fall in love with the diamond rain
Throw all his trash away
Look out he's here to stay
Your mirror's gonna crack when he breaks into it
And you'll never never be the same
Look into his eyes and you can see
Why all the little kids are dressed in dreams
I wonder how he's gonna make it back
When he sees that you just know it's make-belief
Blood crystallized as sand
And now I hope you'll understand
You reflected into his looking glass soul
And now the mirror is your only friend
Look into his eyes and you will see
That men are not alone on the diamond sea
Sail into the heart of the lonely storm
And tell her that you'll love her eternally
Time takes its crazy toll
Mirror fallin' off the wall
You better look out for the looking glass girl
Cause she's gonna take you for a fall
Look into his eyes and you shall see
Why everything is quiet and nothing's free
I wonder how he's gonna make her smile
When love is running wild on the diamond sea
And how does your mirror grow
You better watch yourself when you jump into it
Cause the mirror's gonna steal your soul
I wonder how it came to be my friend
That someone just like you has come again
You'll never, never know how close you came
Until you fall in love with the diamond rain
Throw all his trash away
Look out he's here to stay
Your mirror's gonna crack when he breaks into it
And you'll never never be the same
Look into his eyes and you can see
Why all the little kids are dressed in dreams
I wonder how he's gonna make it back
When he sees that you just know it's make-belief
Blood crystallized as sand
And now I hope you'll understand
You reflected into his looking glass soul
And now the mirror is your only friend
Look into his eyes and you will see
That men are not alone on the diamond sea
Sail into the heart of the lonely storm
And tell her that you'll love her eternally
Time takes its crazy toll
Mirror fallin' off the wall
You better look out for the looking glass girl
Cause she's gonna take you for a fall
Look into his eyes and you shall see
Why everything is quiet and nothing's free
I wonder how he's gonna make her smile
When love is running wild on the diamond sea

i agree a lot with gregsher
i think this is about a relationship that began out built out of illusions and created to bolster self-image rather than out of true love.
the song describes a relationship that people use to "make their mirror grow" - ie improve their self-image and external image as well- it may be linked to fame and Kim and Thurston's own relationship.
"you better watch yourself when you jump into it, cuz the mirror's gonna steal your soul"
this reminds me of the myth of Narcissus - that self image that feeds the relationship will eventually eat away at you and eventually the "dreams" (that the kids obliviously like to dress in) will fade and you will only be left with a mirror, feeling empty.
the "diamond ring" represents the illusions that one is allured by when they enter a relationship.
"your mirrors gonna crack when he breaks into it and you'll never, never be the same"
i feel like this means that your Ego, your Self-image will crack when you enter the relationship with him - as so many compromises are made, people force others to grow and change beyond what is comfortable for their self-image
"i wonder how he's gonna make it back when he sees that you just know it's make believe"
the relationship was imbued and created in some sort of illusion- so how is she going to react when the illusion fades and she realizes her real self-image and the true reality of the connection?
"you reflect into his looking glass soul and now the mirror is your only friend"
this describes feeling lost, being alone yet within a relationship. the connection was built on illusions and projected self-image and now that self-image is all you have left
