lyrics

Life number 9 struck a final chord
And here I am, transported back to where I’ll be reborn

And in this place between space and time,
I’m going to kick back, relax, watch the highlight reels and sigh
What a life
Then get my ghost and start again

I will meet everyone I will ever be,
Everyone I ever have been
And once I’ve met all of them,
Everyone I will never be again

That’s why babies take so long to be born:
It’s because they’re shaking hands with the universe
On the way out of the womb

But before the reels run clean and I start over,
I’ll pause it on a few frames of me and you before the world happened
I loved you, you know
And I still do
If we meet again, I know we won’t remember us

You don’t believe in fate but I do
You said that by the second night that we met
you knew,
you knew
How did you know that I was worth it?
You raised the pedestal to perfect

Does your soul have our story etched on it somewhere?
Is that the reason that you found me, that I was lucky enough to find you?
I’ll call it fate because I want to
I showed up to the party without knowing what I’d get into…

Life is about the company that you keep because they never stay
Life is about the company that you keep because they never stay
I have learned this lesson in my time
Truthful lessons never lessening with time

To live 9 lives you have to die 9 times
To live 9 lives you have to die 9 times
I have learned this lesson in my time
Truthful lessons never lessening with time
