'Double Life' is a song from the Conor Oberst album "Upside Down Mountain", released in 2014.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
It ain't perfect, nothing is
There's still room to grow
Feeling different, staying in
Made a little home
So when I sit back in my chair
As the evening wanes
I don't remember getting here
But I'm glad I came

[Chorus]
Don't look down, just cross the bridge
And when you get there, you'll know why you did
There's a better life on the other side
It's your double life on the other side
It's your second life on the other side
[Verse 2]
It ain't simple like before
These are different times
No longer worried about getting bored
Just trying to clear my mind
From all the noise out there
All the spooks, all the moving parts
Cameras everywhere I look
They're imitating art

[Chorus]
So don't look down, just cross the bridge
And when you get there, you'll be glad did
There's another life on the other side
Your double life's on the other side
It's your second life on the other side
There's an honest life on the other side
It's your double life on the other side
