‘Past Lives’ is one of the first songs that Tommy and I wrote together. Tommy and I did the whole album, and we did my EP together, too. That song was just about basically having the love of your life throughout other lives, and seeing them in these different life forms. And then finally once it mad...
[Intro]
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
[Verse 1]
Past lives couldn't ever hold me down
Lost love is sweeter when it's finally found
I've got the strangest feelin'
This isn't our first time around
Past lives couldn't ever come between us
Sometimes the dreamers finally wake up
Don't wake me, I'm not dreamin'
Don't wake me, I'm not dreamin'
[Verse 2]
All my past lives, they got nothin' on me
Golden eagle, you're the one and only flying high
Through the cities in the sky
I'll take you way back, countless centuries
Don't you remember that you were meant to be
My Queen of Hearts, meant to be my love?
[Pre-Chorus]
Through all of my lives
I'd never thought I'd wait so long for you
The timin' is right
The stars are aligned
[Chorus]
So save that heart for me
'Cause girl, you know that you're my destiny (D-destiny)
Swear to the moon, the stars, the sons and the daughters
Our love is deeper than the oceans of water
[Post-Chorus]
(Hurry)
I need you now, I've waited oh so long, yeah
(Baby love)
I need you now, I've waited oh so long
[Verse 3]
Passin' seasons, empty bottles of wine
My ancient kingdom came crashing down without you
Baby, child, I'm lost without your love
Oh, diamond sparrow, my moonlit majesty
You know I need you, come flying back to me
[Pre-Chorus]
Through all of my lives
I'd never thought I'd wait so long for you
The timin' is right
The stars are aligned
[Chorus]
So save that heart for me
'Cause girl, you know that you're my destiny (D-destiny)
Swear to the moon, the stars, their sons and their daughters
Our love is deeper than the oceans of water
Save that heart for me
And girl, I'll give you everything you need (Everything you need)
Here's to our past lives, our mothers and fathers
Our love is deeper than the oceans of water
[Post-Chorus]
(Hurry)
I need you now, I've waited oh so long, yeah
(Baby love)
I need you now, I've waited oh so long
(Hurry)
I need you now, I've waited oh so long, yeah
(Baby love)
I need you now, I've waited oh so long
[Chorus]
So save that heart for me
'Cause girl, you know that you're my destiny (D-destiny)
Swear to the moon, the stars, the sons and the daughters
Our love is deeper than the oceans of water
Save that heart for me
And girl, I'll give you everything you need (Everything you need)
Here's to our past lives, our mothers and fathers
Our love is deeper than the oceans of water
[Outro]
(Hurry)
I need you now, I've waited oh so long
