Maybe somewhere down the line I was stranded on my own Maybe I had bad luck Some tragedy unknown Maybe I was a worker With a back that's always sore Maybe I was a mother Who knew she needed more In a past life Cause this sadness that I have Could never be mine All this aching in my bones Just never felt right I've seen good light And I've had a nice time But maybe a past life Maybe I was a lilac Sprouting right at the turn of fall Maybe I was an anthill On a playground getting stomped I don't know how I Wound up all tangled up inside But I think someone out there somewhere Had a hand in turning the wind In a past life Cause this sadness that I have Could never be mine All this aching in my bones Just never felt right I've seen good light And I've had a nice time But maybe a past life A hundred billion years I'd live a hundred billion years And I'd be right where I am Right where I am I'd be right where I am A hundred billion years I'd live a hundred billion years Just to be right where I am Right where I am I'd be right where I am In a past life Cause this sadness that I have Could never be mine All this aching in my bones Just never felt right I've seen good light And I've had a nice time But maybe a past life Maybe a past life Maybe a past life
