Past Life

I was picking up a suit from the dry cleaners

Which is standard for me

Thursday, 12:30

I've got a pretty solid routine these days

I don't know, it just works for me

Anyway, I was leaving

I was getting in my car

And I went to adjust the rearview mirror

But in its reflection, just for a second

I saw a figure, started to trigger

Memories flooded back

Stopped me in my tracks

Who was that?

It was my lover

My lover from a past life

From a past life

Feel like I saw a ghost

From a past life

So unexpected

From a past life

I was transfixed

From a past life

Well, somewhere between a lover and a friend

It was different back then

Surreal, poetic, but uncertain

Like a bizarre chick-flick with a confusing end

But I shut it down, closed it off

The sounds and smells I made myself forget

A cheap solution to block out regret

But it was real

It just feels like a past life

From a past life

Crazy

From a past life

(It takes a lot to trip me out)

I always wondered if you wanted my love

For the first time

In a long time

I always wondered if you wanted my love

So I go about my day as normal

But I can't seem to pass it off as just a random event

It consumes me

I thought I was moving on, but I guess I was just switching off

And now I see my life as the banal slog it instantly became

And I don't know if I can go on the same

But I don't wanna dig up old bones

I mean, I don't even know if she has the same phone number

Who knows? Maybe she does

From a past life

I guess there's no harm in trying

From a past life

What's the worst that could happen?

I always wondered if you wanted my love

For the first time

In a long time

I tried to say it, but it never came out right

Past life

From a past life

You're not a stranger if you're always on my mind

For the first time

I know it's late, it just didn't feel right

In a long time

Hello?
