  • Oh, dear Miss Holloway, you're still on my mind
    I reminisce about us sometimes
    You started seein' someone new for a while
    I read about it somewhere online

    Maybe in another life
    We can try and roll the dice
    And get it right
    'Cause when there's no one else in sight
    Can't help but think that we might
    Get it right

    'Cause we're forever near-misses, dodged a couple of kisses
    You were never my missus but we came kinda close
    I've had plenty of fishes, now you're close like my sis' is
    Send the warmest of wishes but I keep hittin' the post
    And you only ever message on my birthday
    Or when you feel lonely, feel thirsty
    And we said if we ain't married by thirty, we might

    I used to think I'd move to Hollywood and end up with a Meagan Good
    Before they called me slurs, same words only Ellen would use
    Heaven could use a few cool Rue motherfuckers
    That look like me and you
    This that Tejas blues, that fairytale that came true
    Way before I had a crew that let me be myself
    Dangerous thoughts, but I was bright, I've been E-R-L
    Been D-4-L, even when I was on the D-L
    I love my dawg with all my heart if you still can't tell
    It's easy now, but from the start, it was a pretty big question, love
    There was someone else in question, nah
    Guess I will learn my lesson, yeah
    See, you better get my blessin', ah
    Feelin' more pressure, need savin' now

    Maybe in another life
    We can try and roll the dice
    And get it right
    'Cause when there's no one else in sight
    Can't help but think that we might
    Get it right

    Oh, dear Miss Holloway, I'm losin' my mind
    I reminisce about us sometimes
    You're leavin' town, I saw the "For Sale" sign
    So I guess I'll see you 'round online

    Maybe in another life
    We can try and roll the dice
    And get it right
    'Cause when there's no one else in sight
    Can't help but think that we might
    Get it right Writer/s: Alessandro Buccellati, Gianluca Buccellati, Ian Simpson, Murray Cameron Matravers, Robert James Milton, Samuel Edward Hewitt
