lyrics

You live a thousand miles away
but I saw you on the hill this clear day.
Your eyes are kitchen marble blue—
you look like someone I once knew.

The night we fell and cracked the ice on the grass,
I knew you were never –never coming back—
So out of love (as they say, as they say)—
to other fish in the sea
but I want one the exact same species.

Doppelganger love, doppelganger love
with you I was sloppy, I’ll be more careful
with your copy.

He has your beard.
Give him your old shirt—
and when he moans, oh, it’s like digging up
a memory from dirt.

Doppelganger love, doppelganger love,
I lost you—I’ll find another one

If you never come back
can I make the sea out of a pothole?
If you never come back
I’ll fall in love with your double.

Doppelganger love, doppelganger love,
he’s not really the same, I’ll still call him
by your name.
