If I met you on the way back
Coming from a spacecraft
Would you tell me that you think I'm pretty
If we met when we're in high school
Would your nerves reveal you
Sweaty palms that hold me on my prom night
Oh, I believe my destiny leads me back to you in every lifetime
Why didn't you fight for me?
How could you just let me leave?
I've been waiting all my life to find you
Why didn't you fight for me?
How could you just let me leave?
Now I have to die again to find you
If we were living in the 80's
Feathered hair and lazy
Would your metal bands write songs about me
What if we were both much older
Life had turned you colder
Would my voice melt all your cynicism
Oh, I believe my destiny leads me back to you in every lifetime
Why didn't you fight for me?
How could you just let me leave?
I've been waiting all my life to find you
Why didn't you fight for me?
How could you just let me leave?
Now I have to die again to find you
Hi, moon
Hi, sun
Does it really have to be over?
We had it once, it won't ever go away
Now the sun is setting down
The moon will come around
The palest light I know it shines on you
At least we have the stars
No matter where we are
'Cause somewhere out there you and I are true
Why didn't you fight for me?
How could you just let me leave?
I've been waiting all my life to find you
Why didn't you fight for me?
How could you just let me leave?
