Cold War Kids
Past Life
[Verse 1: Max Kerman]
Feeling like I’m falling
I’ve been getting uptight
Staring at the ceiling
Trying to get it just right
You know what’s on my mind
I can’t look you in the eye
I’m getting on the freeway
Underneath the night sky
I’m a little wallflower
Singing ‘One Headlight’
Looking for a sign
Superstitions make me blind

[Chorus: Max Kerman]
I’m sick of running from a past life
I don’t care about the next one
Am I running from the moment?
Or the city where I come from?
Right now I’m feelin' like a stranger
Don’t recognize the voice inside my head
'Cause I’ve been running from a past life
I wanna live, I wanna live, I wanna live
I wanna live this life instead

[Verse 2: Nathan Willett]
Today I saw my reflection
In a broken window
Gave me a flashback
Crying in my pillow
It’s not my first time
On this rodeo ride
Because I never got be young
I was born an old soul
I feel like Bob Dylan’s son
Always in the shadows
I’ve gotta find my own
Way to write a song
[Chorus: Nathan Willett]
I’m sick of running from a past life
I don’t care about the next one
Am I running from the moment?
Or the city where I come from?
Right now I’m feeling like a stranger
Don’t recognize the voice inside my head
'Cause I’m running from a past life
I wanna live, I wanna live, I wanna live
I wanna live this life instead

[Bridge: Max Kerman, Nathan Willett]
Can we take back
All these lies that
Added up to wasted
Years and wasted time
Let’s make it right
Here in this life
After all we’ve been through
There’s nothing left to lose

[Chorus: Both]
I’m sick of running from a past life
I don’t care about the next one
Am I running from the moment?
Or the city where I come from?
Right now I’m feeling like a stranger
Don’t recognize the voice inside my head
Cause I’ve been running from a past life
I wanna live, I wanna live, I wanna live
I wanna live this life instead
[Outro: Nathan Willett]
I wanna live, I wanna live, I wanna live
I wanna live this life instead
I wanna live, I wanna live, I wanna live
I wanna live this life instead
I wanna live, I wanna live this life
Live this life
Sick of running from a past life
Sick of running, sick of running from a past life
