I was picking up a suit from the dry cleaners
~#**************#~
Which is standard for me, Thursday, 12:30
~#**************#~
Ive got a pretty solid routine these days
~#**************#~
I dont know, it just works for me
~#**************#~
Anyway, I was leaving, I was getting in my car
~#**************#~
And I went to adjust the rear-view 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
~#**************#~
A lover from a past life
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
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
~#**************#~
[Interlude]
~#**************#~
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 offThe sounds and smells I made myself forget
~#**************#~
A cheap solution to black out regret
~#**************#~
But it was real, it just feels like a past life
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
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)
~#**************#~
[Interlude]
~#**************#~
So I go about my day as normal
~#**************#~
But I cant seem to pass it off as just a random event
~#**************#~
It consumes meI 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 dont know if I can go on the same
~#**************#~
But I dont wanna dig up old bones
~#**************#~
I mean, I dont even know if she has the same phone number
~#**************#~
Who knows? Maybe she does
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
From a past life
~#**************#~
I guess theres no harm in trying
~#**************#~
From a past life
~#**************#~
Whats 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
~#**************#~
(Youre not a stranger if youre always on my mind)
~#**************#~
For the first time
~#**************#~
(I know its late, it just didnt feel right)
~#**************#~
In a long time
~#**************#~
[Outro]
~#**************#~
Hello?
