Tame ImpalaPast Life

I was picking up a suit from the dry cleaners
which is standard for me
thursday, 12:30
I've 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 rear-view mirror
but in its reflection, just for a second
I saw a figure, started to trigger
memories flooded back, it stopped me in my tracks
who was that? It was my lover
a 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 shut it down, closed it off
the sounds and smells I made myself forget
a cheap solution to black out 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 a 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 that could happen?)
(I only 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 stranger if you're always on my mind)
for the first time
(I know it's late, it just didn't feel right)
In a long time hello?
