Past Life

I was picking up a suit from the dry cleaners
When she was standing next to me
Thursday  12:30  I 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 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 what I expected)
From a past life (it's 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 shape or a confusing image
But I shot it down  closed it off
The sounds and smells of the memory so feel good
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
From a past life
In the long time
So I go about how 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 slogan it suddenly 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
From a past life
In the long time
From a past life
From a past life
From a past life
In the long time
