I Met Her In A Past Life

Ich fühle mich wie wir in einem früheren Leben erfüllt

(I feel like we met in a former life)

Auch…where are my manners

English, right

I feel like we met not in this life

But before

And by “met” I mean loved

 

I have no idea how

 

We share common things

Und our eyes meet whenever we think the other isn’t looking

 

Maybe I’m going crazy under Hitler’s hand

I don’t feel like I’m in the right state of mind

But I feel like we’ve loved

Once upon a time

 

 

 

Have I met you before

Because you seem super familiar

I think you were my neighbor before I moved

Because I remember the pretty girl

Next door with brown hair

We played in my back yard and pretended to be aliens

Then made macaroni art

That’s us….on a hill….holding hands

You fell and got a boo boo on your elbow

And I put a dinosaur band-aide on it

We road bikes to the park and we swinged

Remember my best friend Johnny? His birthday party?

Well you were there and I got cake in your hair and you cried…

I gave you a gift on valentines day

It was a flower I put in a purple box

my mom planted in my yard

And later she yelled at me and put me in the corner for digging it up

I shared my dairy queen milkshake with you

Even though It was chocolate and that’s my favorite flavor

And I was really surprised because you said that was your favorite too

Do you remember…

No…?

Oh okay sorry.

You can come over and play with some of my toys if you want

I like your shoes…

 

I met her in a past life,

In February, new grass reaching through snow

This funeral only reminds me of

Vibrations in my spine when she’d leave

Symphony strings come in

Crushing all my Ambien

Recreating Adam and Eve

 

I could feel my disgusting old heart pulse

When I became her.

When she took over me.

 

I remember

Watching life go by like movies

Ich erinnere mich (I remember)

Dancing in ballrooms to records

I remember

Young bodies in *** Minds dowsed in ecstasy

I remember you

 

Our dying won’t stop euphoria like this

It’ll just be put on hold for a while

Emotions becoming a straight beaming line

Because I’ll meet her again

All we’ll do is change the date and time
