Another Life
Surf Mesa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I hate where we left off
We probably should have left it on
There never was a right time
This world without you just feels wrong
Oh, I still got your name onThe tip of my tongue
I still got your face on
The front of my phone
I know we both decided to leave it alone
And we probably should
In another life, if you came over
We'd say all the things we wish we said
In another life, maybe we're older
Wе won't have to lose this love again
'Causе I still got these feelings for you
Darling
Hitting me like waves right in my chest
In another life, if we start over
When the stars align, I'll meet you then
In another life
I heard when it's real love
It'll come back when you let it go
And baby, all this distance
It's only made my feelings grow
I still got your name on the tip of my tongue
And I still got your face on
The lock on my phone
I know we both decided to leave it alone
In another life, if you came over
We'd say all the things we wish we said
In another life, maybe we're older
We won't have to lose this love again
'Cause I still got these feelings for you
Darling
Hitting me like waves right in my chest
In another life, if we start over
When the stars align, I'll meet you then
In another life
Come over, come over, come over
In another life
Come over, come over, come over
In another life if you came over
We'd say all the things we wish we said
In another life, in another life

Mm, mm hmm, mm yeah, yeah
Expressing agreement and acknowledgment with a melodic tone
I hate where we left off
I deeply despise the unresolved state we ended in
We probably should have left it on
It would have been more advisable to maintain our connection
There never was a right time
There was never a perfect moment
This world without you just feels wrong
This existence without you feels inherently incorrect
Oh, I still got your name on
Your name remains imprinted on
The tip of my tongue
The forefront of my thoughts
I still got your face on
Your face is still engraved on
The front of my phone
The screen of my phone when it's idle
I know we both decided to leave it alone
I am aware that we both agreed to let it be
And we probably should
And it's likely the right course of action
In another life, if you came over
Imagining an alternate reality where you visit me
We'd say all the things we wish we said
We would express all the unspoken words we desired to convey
In another life, maybe we're older
In a different existence, perhaps when we are more mature
We won't have to lose this love again
We won't have to endure the pain of losing this love once more
'Cause I still got these feelings for you
Because I still possess deep emotions for you
Darling
Endearing term of affection
Hitting me like waves right in my chest
Overwhelming me with intensity, like waves crashing against my chest
When the stars align, I'll meet you then
When everything falls into place, I will reunite with you
I heard when it's real love
I've heard that genuine love
It'll come back when you let it go
It will return when you release it
And baby, all this distance
And darling, all this physical separation
It's only made my feelings grow
Has only caused my emotions to flourish
The lock on my phone
The security measure on my phone
Come over, come over, come over
Please come to me, please come to me, please come to me
In another life
In a different existence
In another life if you came over
In another reality, if you were to visit me
We'd say all the things we wish we said
We would articulate all the words we yearned to express
In another life, in another life
In a different existence, in a separate existence
