Contents

Speaking of the track, Lewis said the song is "inspired by a personal relationship", saying "It was just one of those relationships that never quite came together – no matter how much I wanted it to. One night on the phone, we were living in different cities, she told me she was hanging with a guy who looked like me". In retrospect, Lewis says he can look back on the experience with "a sense of humour" posing, "So you'd rather be with someone who looks like me – than the 'actual' me!" [2]
