Two of Me

Lyrics

[Intro]
Double vision.

[Verse 1]
I catch a profile in the hallway light
A silvered bevel from 1928
I check the collar, looking dynamite
And watch you study every move I make.
It’s quite a thrill to be the center stage
To have an audience of such appeal
We share a secret in a gilded cage
Wondering exactly what is real.

[Chorus]
Oh, there’s two of me
Twice the fall and half the gravity
I’m so wrapped up in the company
Of the stranger on the other side.
I crave the way we harmonize
But when I blink, and you don't close your eyes
Who is the reflection this time?

[Verse 2]
I smooth a wrinkle by the collarbone
And blow a kiss into the looking glass
But suddenly I'm feeling so exposed
Waiting for the midnight hour to pass.
The admiration takes a sudden dive
When did your smile become a heavy grin?
I'm standing frozen, barely half alive
Watching a brand new attitude begin.

[Pre-Chorus]
(I step up) You hold your ground.
(I reach out) You touch the cold.
I think I'm losing control.

[Chorus]
Oh, there’s two of me
Twice the fall and half the gravity
I’m so wrapped up in the company
Of the stranger on the other side.
I crave the way we harmonize
But when I blink, and you don't close your eyes
Who is the reflection this time?

[Bridge]
I could stare all night, I'm captivated
By the way we share the vanity
But the longer that our breath is bated
The less I think that you belong to me.
I’m pinned down by a stare that knows my history, intimately.

[Outro]
Just us two.
I turn to leave.
You decide to stay.
Twice the fall.
Don't look away.
