In Some Next Life

[Verse 1] I spent my yes on passing hands, Made every promise fit their plans. Then you arrived with open eyes, And every almost-life went quiet. [Pre-Chorus] Now all the vows I couldn't break Keep pulling taut each time we wake. You’re right here, close enough to know— And still the years won’t let me go. [Chorus] If I could start another life, I’d find you there and choose you right. No borrowed years, no other names, No old commitments in the way. But this one’s set, the days move through; I watch the life I meant with you Slip past my hands, bright and alive— I’d live again to make you mine. [Verse 2] I gave my heart in scattered parts, Said “always” till it lost its start. You came when every word was tied To someone else I couldn’t leave behind. [Pre-Chorus] You laugh; I hold the sound too long, As if a different turn could change the song. I want to tell the truth at last: I’d trade this life to meet you first. [Chorus] If I could start another life, I’d find you there and choose you right. No borrowed years, no other names, No old commitments in the way. But this one’s set, the days move through; I watch the life I meant with you Slip past my hands, bright and alive— I’d live again to make you mine. [Outro] In some next life, come soon, come soon. I’ll save my whole heart just for you.
