“You Are Not Her” deals with deja vu but not of a place or experience, but of a person.

lyrics

I tend to forget You Are Not Her – it’s an easy mistake to make
You look and act enough alike,
But when you draped your arms over my shoulders
As we parted last night
The shock of remembering threw me for a
I must have looked like I had just been
Accused of murder

I tend to forget You Are Not Her – you don’t have the memories
That she and I have shared
That bizarre hayride with those rowdy Christian boys –
They had us both terrified
Or that one night when we nuzzled on her bed
A stray phone call kept it from
Going any further

It’s become so much harder to give my heart away, and
Although they become fewer with every passing day
The temptation is to always put it off until the next tomorrow

I tend to forget You Are Not Her – it’s not that I’m suffering
From that mental disorder
Which causes someone to think that all their loved ones Dm G
Have been replaced by imposters
Sometimes I think I’m damaged far beyond repair
But it may just be I’m a
Pathetically slow learner
