Past Lives (前世)

Every new person holds a fragment of every person before. This song is both a thank you to every past lover that you met along the way and a relinquishing of grief because you have finally found the same soulmate from your past lives.

V1:
You remind me of my last,
You are kinder than the first,
And all the ones that I’ve forgotten,
Just before the worst.

V2:
A little bit of him,
And a little more of her,
I know that by comparing you,
I’ll be my saboteur,

Pre:
‘Cause I chronically try to find fault,
I’ll logically find
A way where this won’t work.

Chorus:
Why did you have to go
And treat me like a prince,
Like I’m deserving of the love,
I would never give myself,
If you’re the ocean,
Then it’s water under the bridge,
I forgive, I forgive, I forgive,
All of my past lives.

V3:
You are safer than a house,
When you’re driving me back home,
And you hold space like it’s your job,
‘cause you already know

Pre:
‘Cause I chronically try to find fault,
I’ll logically find
A way where this won’t work.

Chorus:
Why did you have to go
And treat me like a prince,
Like I’m deserving of the love,
I would never give myself,
If you’re the ocean,
Then it’s water under the bridge,
I forgive, I forgive, I forgive,
All of my past lives.

Bridge:
Is this a lesson to learn,
Another blessing or curse,
A blind box where we don’t know what we’re going to get.
Our lips were love in the dark,
I swear that I felt the spark like,
it was in all of our past lives.
