Your shadow, it used to be near me
And, say
My love, I can picture you down here
In a haze
Talking out loud, the nights could be weary
Oh
But we were just kids
And now I can’t get you out alive
Tell me
Will I see you in the afterlife?
Shooting my guns at everyone
Telling myself it’s hardly worth drinking here alone
‘Cause you never hold me through my darkest nights
But I would love you anyway
Even in the afterlife
The silence is creeping in slowly
A fadeout
The water, it was keeping me holy
As I wait, how long have I got to walk alone?
‘Cause it’s not getting any easier
And now I feel like I’m paralysed
Tell me
Will I see you in the afterlife?
Shooting my guns at everyone
Telling myself it’s hardly worth drinking here alone
‘Cause you never hold me through my darkest nights
But I would love you anyway
Even in the afterlife
Whatever you try to control will eventually elude you
It’s funny how the cold earth shakes
Does it matter if we can’t escape?
I guess it’s harder just to live with your mistakes
If there’s nowhere else to run
Why don’t you save yourself?
I hope you never have to learn the hard way
‘Cause you never hold me through my darkest nights
But I would love you anyway
Even in the afterlife
