[Intro | Suspended Energy | Breath-Tipped Delivery | Dulcimer Figure + Hand Drum Pickup] She wore my coat on another street Turned when I turned, but half a beat [Verse 1 | Driving Energy | Clear Chest Delivery | Plucked Strings + Darbuka Pulse] I saw her first beside the train Same little scar, same crooked grin She checked her watch, I checked the time Then both of us stepped back again I followed her around the square She knew which doorway I would choose She bought the coffee I don't drink Then smiled as if she knew the news [Pre-Chorus | Building Energy | Lifted Mix Delivery | String Climb + Tom Pulse] She moves before I make the move She knows the things I never prove If she's the copy, tell me why She always gets there first? [Chorus | High Energy | Open Belt + Layered Doubles | Full Drums + Plucked Riff] Who's the other original? Who was written, who was born? Who's the other original? Who woke up and who was drawn? If she remembers what I haven't lived And knows the words before they're said Who's the other original? And which one lives inside my head? [Post-Chorus | Buoyant Energy | Hook Chant + Tight Doubles | Handclaps + Dulcimer Loop] One of us is late One of us is early One of us remembers One of us becomes [Verse 2 | Driving Energy | Clear Chest Delivery | Bass Pulse + Plucked Strings] She left a note beneath my door In handwriting that matched my own It said, "Don't take the eastern stairs" A warning I had never known I took them anyway at three And found her waiting on the floor She said, "You always do this part" Then walked through my apartment door [Pre-Chorus | Building Energy | Lifted Mix Delivery | String Climb + Tom Pulse] She moves before I make the move She knows the things I never prove If she's the copy, tell me why She always gets there first? [Chorus | High Energy | Open Belt + Layered Doubles | Full Drums + Plucked Riff] Who's the other original? Who was written, who was born? Who's the other original? Who woke up and who was drawn? If she remembers what I haven't lived And knows the words before they're said Who's the other original? And which one lives inside my head? [Bridge | Suspended Energy | Intimate Head-Mix Delivery | Frame Drum Drop + Dulcimer Turn] I asked her, "When did you begin?" She laughed and asked me just the same I told her every childhood street She finished every childhood name Then she said, "What if you're the second? What if I was here before? What if every life you call your own Is something I already wore?" [Breakdown | Rising Energy | Tense Chest Delivery | Bass Ostinato + Hand Drum Build] So I tested every memory Changed the order, changed the place She still knew what I would answer Before the answer reached my face [Chorus | Peak Energy | Open Belt + Layered Doubles | Full Drums + String Surge] Who's the other original? Maybe neither, maybe both Who's the other original? Maybe that's the oldest joke If I remember what she hasn't lived And she forgets what I still know Who's the other original? Maybe there's no first at all [Outro | Falling Energy | Breath-Tipped Delivery | Dulcimer Return + Hand Drum Decay] She wore my coat on another street I turned too soon She missed the beat [End]
