I wait on tables and red lights
And elevators and good times
When I see you I'll hold the door
You hate stairs and debate team politicians
And this new age trend of minimalism
Funny how you're goin' to the same floor
I don't really do this often
But we got too much in common
Oh, I knew you in a past life
In a past life
Won't let you pass me by
I swear to god it's just like last time
Is this the last time?
Won't be the last time
Oh, oh, oh, oh
We waste film and water and countin' bodies
Liquor on my breath mixed with mornin' coffee
Hung over ourselves in the afterglow
We don't think and for once I don't feel uneasy
And when you go to work, I don't think you'll leave me
Why? cause I'll be here when you come home
I don't really do this often
But we got too much in common ooh
Oh, I knew you in a past life
In a past life
Won't let you pass me by
I swear to god it's just like last time
Is this the last time?
Won't be the last time
Oh, oh, oh, oh
From manhattans at the hotel dive
To the tenth floor spendin' the night, oh
Your button up and a nine to five oh
I knew you in a past life
Past life, oh
From old circuits we used to drive
And airports where I kiss you goodbye, oh
And sunshowers in mid July, oh
I knew you in a past life
Past life
