[Verse 1] I was picking up a suit from the dry cleaners Which was standard for me Thursday, 12:30, I 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 of what I had learned, stopped me in my tracks Who was that? it was my lover, my 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
[Verse 2] Well, somewhere between a lover and a friend It was different back then Surreal, poetic so I'd say, 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 a friend, 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) For the first time In a long time
[Verse 3] 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
[Chorus] From a past life (I guess there's no harm in trying) From a past life (What's the worst that could happen?) 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
