lyrics

is your body like my body
breathing freely like I did
before you met me? are you well
I didn’t see the final letter

that you sent me, saw the flames bite
at the page, I wondered what you’d
think I’d want to hear, I wish I
had your address so I’d come &

draw a spell in lighter fluid
‘round the base of your apartment
just before I’d light the match
I’d see you smiling from the window

kill your double ‘cause she’s like me
she talks like me, hurts you like me
when I stand over her body
maybe then we’ll talk forgiveness

is your body like my body
do you burn when you see strangers
hurt your loved ones? when your loved ones
hurt your loved ones? what’s the difference

saw you in the window with your
hair done up like mine & with
that dress you know looks better on me
I wish I was better than you

were you like this ‘fore I met you
too much like me, is it in my head
the way my every movement
casts a shadow looking like you

who’s your double? is she like you
dressing like you, grinning like you
when we stand beside our bodies
is there something called forgiveness

I wrote you a letter begging
you to leave me & my friends alone
but somehow you remain
a ghost that lives forever in me

did you burn it? did you listen
can you hear me like I hear you
when I start to fall asleep
I hear your breathing, it sounds like me

suddenly I’m by the window
smiling down at someone outside
something flares up in her hand
& we watch fire start to spread

so kill your double ‘cause I’m like her
I am like her, I am like her
when she stands over my body
maybe then we’ll talk forgiveness

kill your double (kill your double)
‘cause I’m like her (‘cause she’s like me)
I am like her (hurts you like me)
when she stands over my body (when I stand over her body)
maybe then we’ll talk forgiveness (maybe then we’ll talk forgiveness)
