The After Life

And along the way I guess we learn How to build and how to burn And that what we have is exactly what we've earned What I said was what I meant But I couldn't be more different In these days I've spent just trying to repent There ain't a god, don't lie to me But I believe in irony And since you left only now I'm finally The man I should've been Could've been, would've been If I knew this feeling was one that wouldn't end Eeennndd Oh, I tell 'em they're beautiful, send 'em texts goodnight Though no "I love you"s, 'cause it don't feel right I'm meeting parents quick, planning birthday trips I'm having, I think, healthy relationships I'm living for love. For once, not like when I was too young Too stupid, too smart to be acting so dumb Before what I'd become just a world that's spun All out of whack 'cause when it's all said and done It's all said and done, and you were the one Jacqui said her dad would hop State to state and they'd barely talk Guy's like fifty, I guess it never stops She said were were alike. I said, nah, I'm cool But I guess we're both some fools Cause I keep on telling my friends I'm 'bout to move The truth is: no matter where, I'm stuck No matter where, I'm fucked Learned what I loved 'bout life once I tore it up So what to make of this "after" life Good advice, bad advice It's all moot anyway when you've paid such a price. Right Ooooh, ooooh, ooh Oooh, ooh Ooooh, ooooh, ooh Ahhh. Ah ahh ahh ahh, ahh, ahh ahh. Oooh oooh ooh Oooh. Oooh. Ooooooh oooh, oooh Oooh. Oooh. Oooh, oooh, ooh Oooh. Oooh. Ooooooh oooh, oooh Ooooh. Oooooohhhhh aahhh ahh ahhhhhh
