Past Life – Arkells & Cold War Kids

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

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
Cuz I’ve been running from a past life
I wanna live, I wanna live, I wanna live
I wanna live this life instead

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 to 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

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
Cuz I’m running from a past life
I wanna live, I wanna live, I wanna live
I wanna live this life instead

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

I’m sick of running from a past life (Running from a past life)
I don’t care about the next one (I don’t care about the next one)
Am I running from the moment? (Am I running from the moment?)
Or the city where I come from? (Or the city where I come from?)
Right now I’m feeling like a stranger (Feeling like a stranger)
Don’t recognize the voice inside my head
Cuz I’ve been running from a past life (Running from a past life)
I wanna live, I wanna live, I wanna live
I wanna live this life instead
I wanna live, I wanna live this life instead
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
I’m sick of running, sick of running from a past life
