How to Format Lyrics:

• Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
• Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
• Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
• Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
• If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

AboutThis song bio is unreviewedSong Bio1 contributor

‘Past Lives’ is one of the first songs that Tommy and I wrote together. Tommy and I did the whole album, and we did my EP together, too. That song was just about basically having the love of your life throughout other lives, and seeing them in these different life forms. And then finally once it made sense, you guys were both at the same place at the same, or the right place at the right time. And then in this life you were together."
