Lookalike was the last song to be added onto Conan’s debut EP Sunset Season. It’s a song about lingering love.
At a live performance, he said:
I think everyone in life has that one person that they just fall so hard for, and so in love with, but no matter who you like afterwards, and no matter who...
[Verse 1]
Let's go back to this summer night
When we met eyes, it’s like a movie line
Kissin' underneath the city lights
But now you're layin’ in another guy's arms
'Cause I'm all gone
[Chorus]
But when you look in his eyes, do you think of mine?
And when you look at that smile, do I cross your mind?
I know in your head you see me instead
'Cause he looks a lot like I did back then
Baby, don't lie, he's just a lookalike
[Verse 2]
Can't redo what’s already done
Can’t compete 'cause I’ve already won
Sayin', "This time it's really love"
But honey, you're not foolin’ anyone
Don't you know we're done?
[Chorus]
But when you look in his eyes, do you think of mine?
And when you look at that smile, do I cross your mind?
I know in your head you see me instead
'Cause he looks a lot like I did back then
Baby, don't lie, he's just a lookalike
[Bridge]
And I'll admit that I sometimes, maybe, might
Think about you at night, well, almost every night
No matter how I try to hide and erase you from my mind
I'm dying to find a lookalike
[Chorus]
'Cause when you look in his eyes, hope you think of mine
And when you look at that smile, hope I cross your mind
I hope in your head you see me instead
'Cause you've been in mine every day since then
Maybe it's time to find a lookalike
[Outro]
No, I can't lie
I need a lookalike
