“Same Soul” is about two lovers whose bond is so strong that they are able to recognize each other in each reincarnation of themselves—in different bodies with the same soul. Lynn revealed that the track was inspired by a book she was reading on reincarnation, James Bryce’s Reincarnation Now.
[Verse 1]
Where does your body go when I leave you alone?
Would your heart know if I met you in a brand new set of bones?
'Cause you may see me in different bodies
Hiding below with the same soul
[Pre-Chorus]
I could have walked by you a thousand times
Different places, different lives
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, hey
I could have been someone you don't recognize
Different figure, new design (Hey)
[Chorus]
I'm just somebody that you used to know
I'm just somebody that you used to know
Yeah, I'm just somebody that you used to know
Used to know, used to know, used to know
[Verse 2]
Where did your heart stay in all those years away? (Now where did your heart stay?)
Did I make your body shake
When you heard me running through the airwaves? (Did you feel me, baby?)
In all those yesterdays were you always hiding below?
No, I didn't know
[Pre-Chorus]
I think we've loved a thousand lives
I try to find you every time (Every time)
Searching for those same wide eyes
That locked me in, in my first life
Do you remember my old names?
Recognize my other face?
We're both hanging in picture frames
Somewhere in this place
But my stare at you stayed the same (Woo, hey)
[Chorus]
I'm just somebody that you used to know (Yeah, yeah)
I'm just somebody that you used to know (Hey, hey)
Just somebody that you used to know
Used to know, used to know, used to know
[Bridge]
(Hey, hey, hey)
I think we've loved a thousand lives (Oh, oh)
I try to find you every time (I try to find you every time)
I think we've loved a thousand lives (I think we've loved a thousand lives)
I try to find you every time
[Breakdown]
(Yeah)
I'm just a body that you used to know (Yeah)
I'm just somebody that you used to know (Woah)
I'm just a body that you used to know
Used to know, used to know, used to know (Hey)
[Chorus]
(I think we've loved a thousand lives)
I'm just somebody that you used to know
(I try to find you every time)
I'm just somebody that you used to know
(I try to find you every time)
I'm just somebody that you used to know
Used to know, used to know, used to know
[Outro]
I try to find you in my life
