Love Of Your Next Life Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You were mine
Until you weren't
I felt you slip right out of my hands
We didn't go according to plan
I'll never understand it
I had my starry-eyed sights set on you
While you were scheming how to make a move
Right on the precipice of making all our wildest dreams come true

[Pre-Chorus]
But then one of us said something that we didn't really mean
So now we barely talk and God, I just wanna scream

[Chorus]
I want you back and I know that it's not right
I'd chase you down but I'm stuck at the red light
We always meet at wrong place, the wrong time
So maybе I'll be the love of your nеxt life
I see you out with somebody, you say hi
And it takes everything in me not to break down and cry
You know it's always the wrong place, the wrong time
So maybe I'll be the love of your next life

[Verse 2]
It's not fair
You got distracted by your fancy job
And I got busy writing all these songs
Wish I could freeze the time and stop the clock
I'd take us right back to November
And The Killers and the pouring rain
The laughter in your voice when you were calling my name
Didn't know how good we had it
And the chances keep on passing us by
[Pre-Chorus]
I call you when I'm drunk because you always pick up
Think about you way too often but it's still not enough

[Chorus]
I want you back and I know that it's not right
I'd chase you down but I'm stuck at the red light
We always meet at wrong place, the wrong time
So maybe I'll be the love of your next life
I see you out with somebody, you say hi
And it takes everything in me not to break down and cry
You know it's always the wrong place, the wrong time
So maybe I'll be the love of your next life

[Bridge]
Circling
I hurt you, you're hurting me
Lessons never learned cause we
Keep the pages turning
But maybe in another life
We actually get it right
The universe is on our side
You call me yours, I call you mine
I wonder what that's like

[Chorus]
I want you back and I know that it's not right
I'd chase you down but I'm stuck at the red light
We always meet at wrong place, the wrong time
So maybe I'll be the love of your next life
I see you out with somebody, you say hi
And it takes everything in me not to break down and cry
You know it's always the wrong place, the wrong time
So maybe I'll be the love of your next life

How to Format Lyrics:
