Lyrics
Another lifetime
Expressing the idea of a different existence or era
Another timeline
Suggesting an alternate sequence of events
Maybe someday in your dreams
Hoping that the subject will encounter the speaker in their dreams
You'll see me there
An aspiration for the speaker to be recognized in the dream
We tried to fake it
Acknowledging an unsuccessful attempt to pretend or deceive
And couldn't make it
Failed efforts to create a false impression
In another world
Describing an ideal scenario in an alternate reality
We'd be a perfect pair
Imagining a perfect match in that alternative world
You couldn't stick around
Acknowledging the impossibility of the subject staying
I'd never tie you down
Expressing a lack of desire to confine or restrain the subject
I want you to be happy
Wishing for the happiness of the subject, despite personal feelings
Though I shouldn't care
Conflicted emotions about caring for the subject
A fit of jealousy
Suggesting that jealousy may have led to the end of the relationship
May be what ended me
Implying that jealousy might be a contributing factor to the breakup
But you know as well as I do
Both parties understanding the reasons behind the inability to share
Why I couldn't share
Reflecting on the mutual awareness of incompatibility
Some people say
Quoting a common saying about relationships
Right person, wrong time
Offering an alternative perspective on failed relationships
I think wrong person, wrong lifetime
Suggesting that the issue is not the timing but the individuals involved
If you and I were meant to stay together
Contemplating the potential for a lasting connection
Things might've worked out a bit better
Speculating on a better outcome if meant to be together
In another lifetime
Reiterating the theme of an alternative existence
Another timeline
Emphasizing the concept of a different series of events
Yes, in another world
Repeating the vision of an ideal pairing in another reality
We'd be a perfect pair
Affirming the idea of a perfect match in that imagined world
In a world where the sky's a shade of emerald green
Painting a vivid picture of an unreal, idyllic world
And your eyes are the bluest things I've ever seen
Describing the beauty of the imagined world and the subject's eyes
Where the sun is cold
Contrasting the expected with the unexpected in this alternate world
And the snow feels warm on your skin
Playing with the idea of contradictory sensations in the imaginary world
In a world where pigs can fly
Highlighting the fantastical nature of the alternate reality
And birds don't sing
Emphasizing the surreal aspects of the envisioned world
Where you can stand outside
Creating a sense of quiet and isolation in the imagined setting
And not hear a thing
Amplifying the absence of typical sounds in the alternate world
It's a world that simply doesn't exist
Stressing the non-existence of the utopian world
Another lifetime
Repeating the theme of an alternative existence or era
Another timeline
Reiterating the idea of a different sequence of events
Maybe someday in your dreams
Encouraging the subject to visualize the speaker in dreams
You'll see me there
Recalling the unsuccessful attempt to feign a connection
We tried to fake it
Acknowledging the impossibility of making the false connection work
But we'd never make it
Emphasizing the insurmountable obstacles in the alternative world
In another world
Reiterating the vision of an ideal pairing in the imaginary world
We'd be a perfect pair
Summarizing the desire for a perfect match in that alternative reality
