In Another Life

كلمات الأغنية

[Verse 1] I keep a suitcase under the bed With a blue shirt and a book unread A paper map from a town up north And a list of names I never called [Pre-Chorus] If this road only circles back If every door remembers the same old track I’ll leave one note by the kitchen light For the person I could be tonight [Chorus] In another life, I’d meet you sooner Before the winter took the color from the room We’d trade our fears for a little good sense And build a small world that could hold us both In another life, I’d know the answer I’d say your name before the moment passed But this one’s still breathing in my hands So I’m learning how to make it last [Verse 2] There’s a train that leaves at half past five Past the farms where the old dogs lie I don’t need to know where it will end I just need somewhere to begin again [Pre-Chorus] Every scar has a different shape Every wrong turn leaves a little space For a different kind of morning sun For the work of becoming someone [Chorus] In another life, I’d meet you sooner Before the winter took the color from the room We’d trade our fears for a little good sense And build a small world that could hold us both In another life, I’d know the answer I’d say your name before the moment passed But this one’s still breathing in my hands So I’m learning how to make it last [Bridge] Maybe another life is not another place Maybe it begins when I stop rehearsing yesterday I can leave the key beneath the flowerpot I can walk outside and take the chance I’ve got [Final Chorus] In another life, I’d meet you sooner But I found you here beneath the changing sky We traded our fears for a little good sense And let the smaller miracles survive In another life, I’d know the answer Tonight I only know I’m moving on This one’s still breathing in my hands And that may be enough to carry home [Outro] The suitcase waits beneath the bed The book is open where I left it unread
