After Life

1st VERSE: Where would you go if you could leave this place? What would you see who would you meet If you could leave then come back to these streets What words would you use to describe where you’ve been? From where you stood could you see the world spin Could you watch us walk around Our feet stuck to the ground Could you hear the words we said When our hearts filled with dread Thinking you’ve moved on To sing another song In another universe Leaving behind a curse CHORUS: After death After life What we hope is Paradise Just might be our memories Left for everyone to see All to know the truth Every action has a purpose Even if buried beneath the surface Wishing you’d come back to me I did what you asked I set you free Didn’t know you would fly So far up in the sky 2nd VERSE: If you came back Claiming the spot you left How would it feel To take your seat Where you belong As you did all along Which world would you choose Or would you stay between Stuck in a space Unable to be seen Could you see us over here If you can is it clear Could you feel our pain inside When we found out you died Thinking life would end We lost another friend To the opposite of life Pain still cuts like a knife
