you in a past life

Writing love letters to myself when I'm drunk Then I hide them in my coat pockets Deep in my closet, so when it's cold again I feel a little warmth when I find them Hid a polaroid in the perfect spot In a coffee shop on 12 South So when I'm back I'll sit in my spot again Take a little moment there to reminisce Things have been good And they're only getting better You gotta hold on to that You gotta believe in it Oh, you have been loved And you will be loved again You gotta hold on to that You gotta believe it 'Cause when it's half past two in the goddamn morning And the car can't find you When the one you want's got his own damn problems And he just won't call you You gotta know somebody's looking out for you Even if it's only a faint light Even if it's you in a past life Writing love letters to my kids when I'm drunk Or the people who will own this apartment after me And find a letter underneath the left foot of the bed that says Things, they have been good And they're only getting better You gotta hold on to that You gotta believe it 'Cause when it's half past two in the goddamn morning And the car can't find you When the one you want's got his own damn problems And he just won't call you You gotta know somebody's looking out for you Even if it's only a faint light Even if it's you in a past life It's better than no one Yeah it's better than no one It's better than no one Even if it's you in the past In a past life It's better than no one Yeah it's better than no one It's better than no one It's just you in a past life
