I was picking up a suit from the dry cleaners Which was standart for me Thursday, 12:30, I've gotta 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 shot it down, closed it off The sounds and smells I made myself forget A cheap solution to block our 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 the 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 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 strenger if you're always no my mind) For the first time (I know it's late, it just didn't feel right) In the long time Hello?
