[Verse 1] Empty yellow boxes Shake them up, reveal the contents Smoke a cigarette, do you got one? Need a light cause I forgot mine Two steps forward four steps back Everything just makes me mad I turn it over, I turn it over [Chorus] In a past life, I was a low life I was sinking down just like a stone I lost my way And now I’m coming home Coming home I was drowning in the deep blue sea And now you’ve come to rescue me In a past life, I was a low life In a past life, in a past life [Verse 2] Singing songs with my guitar Plug in the chords that take me far Back to water now, just memories Alive and finally happy Some of the best, they couldn’t do it So this one’s for you, I hope you hear it Wherever you are, wherever that is I’m living for them, I’m living for this [Chorus] In a past life, I was a low life I was sinking down just like a stone
I lost my way And now I’m coming home Coming home I was drowning in the deep blue sea And now you’ve come to rescue me In a past life, I was a low life In a past life, in a past life [Verse 3] When I was a kid, I felt so alone I had to escape so that I could feel whole Drift off to a place where no one knew my name A place you could get to by numbing the taste A taste for this life is something so great Twenty years later and I wouldn’t change Put down the poison and put down the pain Now I’m ready to feel again And I feel fu*king everything And I wouldn’t trade it for anything [Chorus] In a past life, I was a low life I was sinking down just like a stone I lost my way And now I’m coming home Coming home I was drowning in the deep blue sea And now you’ve come to rescue me In a past life, I was a low life In a past life, in a past life
