Last night I heard The Sylistics' "You Are Everything" and it occurred to me that "Everywhere That I'm Not" has some similarities. Coincidence? Inspiration?
BTW, I think the phrasing, "a lot like I remember you do" is absolutely brilliant. When you've lost someone, it's no longer about who they are, it's about how you remember them.
Here's the start of "You Are Everything" by The Stylistics:
Today I saw somebody
Who looked just like you
She walked like you do
I thought it was you
As she turned the corner
I called out your name
I felt so ashamed
When it wasn't you
