lyrics

You look like my ex
Look out you could be next
Cuz I want what’s in store
To be like what came before
Have you seen Vertigo?
You know how that one goes
I like your clothes and style of hair
I’ve got a rear view mirror stare
I like your clothes and style of hair
I’ve got a rear view mirror stare

From my head onto you
A mannequin I try to use
Some difference helps me to move on
But not too much, then I’d be gone
Be gone, be gone, be gone

So who do I seem like to you?
Was there a guy back in high school
Who did you wrong, you wanted right
I can’t be me, try if I might
I can’t be me, try if I might

From in your head out onto me
A mannequin dressed up to be
Somehow the same, and yet not quite
So who am I to you tonight?

A dress a shirt a yellow tie
A bracelet that can make me cry
We know the tools, we know the trade
We know ourselves and why we stayed
But we don’t really know each other
Well, at least not at this stage
Cuz we don’t want to turn the page
No we don't wanna turn the page...

From in our heads out to be seen
Two mannequins two waking dreams
Two parlor games at the same time:
You play your role, and I’ll play mine
You play your role, and I'll play mine
