Next Life – veronicavon
All of us are sad
Dwelling on the one thing we could have done
Is it from a past life, or is this the only one?
Standing in the checkout line
Scanning over all the things I’ve got
Inevitably there is something I forgot
In the next life
I won’t forget where I put my keys
In the next life
I’ll say what I mean
In the next life
I won’t count the hours in the day
In the next life
I’m the one that stays
Going through my pockets
Throwing away all my old receipts
I found a picture of you looking right at me
I’m sorry I got so mad
Or was it disappointment?
Did I have to go? I ask in quiet moments
In the next life
I’ll jump in the water when it’s cold
In the next life
It won’t be sad getting old
In the next life
I’ll know how to pose when you take a picture
In the next life
I’ll like the sound of my laughter
In the next life
It won’t be so hard to say your name
In the next life
Everything will change
In the next life
In the next life
