Lyrics
0:38Like walking into a dream, so unlike what you've seen
0:43So unsure but it seems, 'cause we've been waiting for you
0:47Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste
0:52Of your afterlife here so stay, you'll be back here soon anyway
0:57I see a distant light, but girl, this can't be right
1:06Such a surreal place to see, so how did this come to be?
1:12Arrived too early
1:15And when I think of all the places I just don't belong
1:19I've come to grips with life and realize this is going too far
1:24I don't belong here, we gotta move on, dear
1:30Escape from this afterlife
1:33'Cause this time I'm right to move on and on
1:38Far away from here
1:43A place of hope and no pain, perfect skies with no rain
1:47Can leave this place but refrain, 'cause we've been waiting for you
1:52Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste
1:56Of your afterlife here so stay, you'll be back here soon anyway
2:02This piece on Earth's not right (with my back against the wall)
2:06No pain or sign of time (I'm much too young to fall)
2:10So out of place, don't wanna stay, I feel wrong and that's my sign
2:16I've made up my mind
2:19Give me your hand but realize I just wanna say goodbye
2:23Please understand I have to leave and carry on my own life
2:28I don't belong here, we gotta move on, dear
2:34Escape from this afterlife
2:38'Cause this time I'm right to move on and on
2:45Far away from here
2:46Got nothing against you and surely I'll miss you
2:52This place full of peace and light
2:55And I'd hope you might take me back inside
3:00When the time is right
3:23Loved ones back home all crying
3:26'Cause they’re already missing me
3:31I pray by the grace of God
3:35That there’s somebody listening
3:40Give me a chance to be that person I wanna be
3:46(I am unbroken, I’m choking on this ecstasy)
3:49Oh, Lord, I’ll try so hard, but you gotta let go of me
3:55(Unbreak me, unchain me, I need another chance to live!)
4:59I don't belong here, we gotta move on dear
5:04Escape from this afterlife
5:08'Cause this time I'm right to move on and on
5:14Far away from here
5:16Got nothing against you and surely I'll miss you
5:22This place full of peace and light, and I'd hope you might
5:28Take me back inside when the time is right
