Next Life

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 like 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
