Past Lives

Past lives couldn't ever hold me down
Lost love is sweeter when it's finally found
I've got the strangest feeling
This isn't our first time around
Past lives couldn't ever come between us
Sometimes the dreamers finally wake up
Don't wake me I'm not dreaming
Don't wake me I'm not dreaming
All my past lives they got nothing on me
Golden eagle you're the one and only flying high
Through the cities in the sky
I'll take you way back, countless centuries
Don't you remember that you were meant to be
My Queen of Hearts, meant to be my love
Through all of my lives
I'd never thought I'd wait so long for you
The timing is right
The stars are aligned
So save that heart for me
'Cause girl you know that you're my destiny (d-destiny)
Swear to
