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, I 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'd hoped 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.
|
(Who are you? I'm broken, 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.)
|
|
[Screaming and maniacal laughter]
|
|
I don't belong here, I 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'd hoped you might,
|
Take me back inside when the time is right.
