Afterlife

Like walking into a dream
So unlike what you've seen
So unsure, but it seems
('Cause we've been waiting for you)

Fallen into this place
Just giving you a small taste
Of your afterlife here, so stay
You'll be back here soon anyway

I see a distant light
But, girl, this can't be right
Such a surreal place to see
So how did this come to be?
Arrived too early

And when I think of all the places I just don't belong
I've come to grips with life and realize this is going too far

I don't belong here, we gotta move on, dear
Escape from this afterlife
'Cause this time I'm right to move on and on
Far away from here

A place of hope and no pain
Perfect skies with no rain
Can leave this place, but refrain
('Cause we've been waiting for you)

Fallen into this place
Just giving you a small taste
Of your afterlife here, so stay
You'll be back here soon anyway

This peace on Earth's not right (with my back against the wall)
No pain or sign of time (I'm much too young to fall)
So out of place, don't wanna stay
I feel wrong and that's my sign
I've made up my mind

Give me your hand, but realize I just wanna say goodbye
Please, understand I have to leave and carry on my own life

I don't belong here, we gotta move on, dear
Escape from this afterlife
'Cause this time I'm right to move on and on
Far away from here

Got nothing against you and surely I'll miss you
This place full of peace and light
And I hope you might take me back inside
When the time is right

Loved ones back home all crying 'cause they're already missing me
I pray by the grace of God that there's somebody listening
Give me a chance to be that person I wanna be (I am unbroken, I'm choking on this ecstasy)
Oh, Lord, I'll try so hard, but you gotta let go of me (unbreak me, unchain me, I need)
(Another chance to live)

I don't belong here, I gotta move on, dear
This place full of peace and light
And I hope you might take me back inside
When the time is right
