if&when - Doppelganger Lyrics

My heart, it can change at the drop of a dime
My head, it just tries to keep it in line
My heart is a swing, my head is a strong wind
Try as I might, to see things through
I slip, falter, I always do
When my head is at work, my heart is the weekend

When things fall apart, my heart knows the pain
To lift me back up, it's up to my brain
My heart's under attack and my head's an escape pod
Because my heart, it knows what it is to yearn
But you need some sense to make sense of the burn
When my heart is a storm, my head is a lightning rod

Far too often, they disagree
And I'm left with the feeling there's two of me

Changing my clothes or changing my mind
Feels like the same thing some of the time
Try this one on, see how it fits you
Consider the options, pick what feels right
Change several times 'fore you leave for the night
My heart is a swing, my head is a swing too

My head is not so easily swayed
But my heart won't quit, it keeps pulling away
My heart is the moon, my head is the ocean
They share the same victory, the same defeat
And it takes both to lie and to cheat
My heart's playing games, but my head is coaching

Only too often, they disagree
I'm left with the sensation there's two of me

Though they may clash, they meet the same fate
To get there, they have to cooperate
My head is the map, my heart is the compass
My heart's got ideas, it does what it can
But my head's got other plans
My heart's laying eggs, my head's making omelettes

My heart, it keeps searching for what it ain't found
My head sometimes tries just to shut it all down
My heart is a migrant, my head is a brick wall
But walls, they can fall and ladders are cheap
Holes can be dug in the ground underneath
Heads and hearts find a way, no matter how tall

Oh how often we disagree
And I'm not talking respectfully
But we've all got heads and hearts
Yeah, we're all made of the same parts
Same desire, same fear as well
Constant conflict in our heads and our hearts
Our own picture hangs where we're throwing darts
We're all just at war with ourselves

So think with your heart, love with your head
It's not one or the other, it's both 'til you're dead
