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
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 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
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
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?) 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)
