Nine lives

Remember that time in Russia?
The impressive subway 90 meter below
Remember back in Jamaica?
Braided hair and Bob Marley to go
We saw places before they became touristic
From Tunis to Egypt, from Guatemala to Mexico
You took me everywhere
Elementary school, I've barely been there

Remember our apartment?
I have one picture of us there
I had a plan, you were the man
We were living in the middle of nowhere
Too many things you didn't understand
Too many times you didn't care
For two years I was hooked
But then I used my eyes and really looked

Your Swedish friend was here in 2005
We were hanging out at the Flying pig daily
I recall you were my life
Students having fun, everything was so easy
Then came the day we had to fight
I was keeping our relationship together
But with one person fighting it didn't survive
I felt alone and bitter

Things never last
That's why it's called the past
Years from now someone else will represent
This life I now call present
I've got pictures of moments in time
That'll only live in our minds

I've already lived nine lives
I've been everybody's wife
I've been all over the globe
I've felt things before, a lifetime ago
But with you, so many things are new
Are you the last life I have to through?
