lyrics

Saw a little girl walking down the street
She had your eyes, they were kind
But her hair wasn’t brown like mine
Reminded me to spend my days just being fine
And to maybe start erasing the underlines

Cause I have to admit that
Every now and then, from time to time
Man I wish I was yours, and you were mine
I hope we never have to pay for our silent crimes
We write each other letters and we read between the lines
But I know, we’re better off in another life
Off in another life

I know you love her, one day you could make her a mother
That’s why we pass our love off as sister and brother
We both know there’s more to this
Both dreamt longing for a kiss but maybe life can’t handle all of this
So I have to admit that

Every now and then, from time to time
Man I wish I was yours, and you were mine
I hope we never have to pay for our silent crimes
We write each other letters and we read between the lines
But I know, we’re better off in another life
Off in another life

I’ll always love you, and I know you’ll love me too
And we’re just meant to keep pretending x2
Our souls are just family

Every now and then, from time to time
Man I wish I was yours, and you were mine
The physical space between us is where we get to hide
If you ask me that was planned, and totally divine
Cause I know, we’re better off in another life
Yes I know that we’re better off in another life
I know that we’re better off
