Lifetime

So this is how it needs to go
I move out to the west coast and you never know
You never listen to my songs
Or you do and never know they're meant for you to sing along

So this is how I thought I'd be
Understanding someone who is understanding me
I only pray to sleep
Quickly so I don't imagine you will share my dream

In another lifetime
On another path
We stand down by the water
And I ask to hold your hand
In another lifetime
On another day
You visit and we walk
And I ask you to stay

So this is who I know you are
Aware enough to notice if I push myself too far
So this all you'll ever see
Smiling always happy for wherever you may be

But if the sky tears open and I see another world
A universe where everything's the same but you're my girl
I'm sorry to this planet I will loose myself from here
And maybe once I'm gone you'll realize you wish I was here

In another lifetime
In a different time
You know why I'm drifting off
When I am in your eyes
In another lifetime
A life we haven't lived
I would give you everything I've ever had to give
