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
