Afterlife

I came as soon as I could
Didn’t know when but I knew that you would
You weren’t born in disguise
I’ll only go if I must
Got an itch can’t wish it away
Pick me up like a warratah wave
It’s not the fear when I stop
But what I’m making it mean

I won’t wait
I do what I have to do to make it right
Why be him
Be anyone but yourself and die inside
In an afterlife

Who am I when I look at your face
Who are you when I look in your eyes
Only seeing myself
What I’m making it mean?
It’s there in every face
Who am I, how long have I got?
Do you think about me like I think about you?

I won’t wait
I do what I have to do to make it right
Why be him
Be anyone but yourself and die inside
In an afterlife
