Church - After Everything lyrics

rate me

Now that it's over I found myself fleeting<br />

The sound permeated all directions at once<br />

I never said goodbye to the family, lovers<br />

Brothers and daughters, the rest of the bunch<br />

<br />

It seems so strange that the things I was chasing<br />

Have all evaporated like a distant dream<br />

Petty ambition, petty obstruction<br />

Something in between<br />

<br />

I really thought it would go on forever<br />

Never believed they would sever the ties<br />

All of the questions remaining unanswered<br />

A stranger's reflection in a stranger's eyes<br />

<br />

Here is a child playing in a garden<br />

Here is an old man with a broken heart<br />

Here comes a train to take you away<br />

It all goes round and round and comes back to the start<br />

<br />

I was never really sure what I was waiting for<br />

When the moment came I was looking away<br />

Obsessed with a past, scared of the future<br />

Never took the time to be here today<br />

<br />

After everything now this happens<br />

It's not a grand illusion, it's a stupid little trick<br />

The show must go on, these people have paid<br />

You're standing in the wings feeling kinda sick<br />

<br />

Never really sure what you were waiting for<br />

When the moment came you just couldn't choose<br />

The fog sweeps down over the marine city<br />

Standing backstage trying to pull on your shoes
