in another time in another life
way back when you were my lover
we’d hold hands down Main Street
stop into a soda shop together

you would buy me a ring
from a nickel bubble gum machine
you’d propose down on one knee
and I’d just laugh ’cause we agreed
we don’t need that kind of paperwork
when you know it’s real

in another time in another life
remember when you were my best friend
we would walk through tall grass arm in arm
and talk until the sun sets

we would cuddle on a blanket
you brought wine but forgot glasses
so we just sip it from the bottle
and we’d roll in the grass like children
and I’d hardly even worry about spiders and snakes

so we lie beneath the setting sun
counting all the clouds in the pink sky
I close my eyes and you could kiss me
you taste like sweat and chardonnay but so do I

let’s be like this forever you say
what is time in all this infinite space
I’ll love you always

in another time in another life
way back when you were my lover
we’d lounge naked on the sofa
you’d trace my collarbone with your finger

and all the quirky things about me
you’d find infinitely charming
like how I’m terrible with money
I said that beaches are too sunny
when I’m intolerably stubborn you don’t get mad
you just think it’s funny

so we lie beneath the cotton sheets
forget about the sad world on the outside
I close my eyes and you could kiss me
you taste like weed and whiskey but so do I

let’s be like this forever you say
what is time in all this infinite space
let’s be like this forever you say
I’ll love you always
I’ll love you always
