lyrics

like a forgotten childhood friend
that catches you by surprise at 2 am
when you're wandering high
in the convenience store
like the boy that catches your eye
and looks back twice when he leaves the cafe
just a fleeting moment
that you can't describe

i never believed in past lives
never considered that it might
be then i met you
the first time
something about you felt right
felt so familiar and it might
be that i knew you
in a past life

skip past the introductions and
talk about our burdens and summer plans
that fell through
that's how we ended up here
the way my stomach flipped when you said goodbye
and i couldn't look back because you caught the train
and i wondered
how we were strangers just a month ago

i never believed in past lives
never considered that it might
be then i met you
the first time
something about you felt right
felt so familiar and it might
be that i knew you
in a past life

promise me we won’t waste anymore time
won’t keep running around in circles trying to hide
just because time is short
we knew it would be

i never believed in past lives
never considered that it might
be then i met you
the first time
something about you felt right
felt so familiar and it might
be that i knew you
in a past life
