Past Life - Tame Impala

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
