"Never Going Back To OK" (2008)



The Secret Parade - the afters lyrics

Don't try to lose us cause it's right where you'll find us
Don't try to bruise us cause it's right where you bleed
Don't call me a stranger, we're your brothers and sisters
Try to refuse when it's just what you need

Here tomorrow, gone today
We're a part of the secret parade
Here tomorrow, gone today
We're a part of the secret parade

Never Going Back To OK - the afters lyrics

It's not the end
But it feels like it is
I'm waking up
Like I'm back from the dead
I'm stepping out
And I feel so afraid
But as long as I'm moving it's all right

I feel alive
And it hurts for a change
And looking back and it's hard to believe
That I was cool
With the days that I wasted complacent and tasteless and bored but
That was yesterday

We're never going back to OK
We're never going back to easy
We're never going back to the way it was
We're never going back to OK

This discontent
Like a slap in the face
Of mediocre
I've had enough of this place
This party's over
And I'm moving away from the frills of you Beverly Hills but that was yesterday

We're never going back to OK
We're never going back to easy
We're never going back to the way it was
We're never going back to OK

We're here to stay
This is our time
Our only life
Our chance to live

We're never going back to OK
We're never going back to easy
We're never going back to the way it was
We're never going back to OK

Keeping Me Alive - the afters lyrics

It's like I never lived
Before my life with you
So much was missing here
I never even knew
I still picture the place we were
When I fell into your world

[Chorus:]
My heart is in you
Where you go you carry me
I bleed
If you bleed
Your heart beats
Inside of me
You're keeping me alive

I don't know why feel this way
But something's right
You're like the morning air
Before the light arrives
No more lonely and
No more night
No more secrets to hide

[Chorus]

I'll hold you near
Together, we'll never die
Your love is keeping me alive

[Chorus]

Tonight - the afters lyrics

Time after time I'm reminded that I fall apart
When I run away from you
Even when every mistake
Leaves me broken and bruised
I can hold on to you

Tonight, tonight we're gonna put it all, put it all behind
Tonight, tonight we're gonna make it all, make it alright
We'll be who we want to be tonight

Why do I feel like a space
That just waits to be filled
Looking for something new
When ours is love that is already perfect and I know I belong to you

When tomorrow comes we're gonna feel alive
Somehow forget about the tears we cried
There's so much more we have to gain than we could ever lose

Ocean Wide - the afters lyrics

Look outside
It's already light and the stars ran away with the night
Things we're said, words that we'll try forget,
it's so hard to admit I know we've made mistakes
I see through all the tears but that's what got us here

[Chorus:]
If love is an ocean wide
We'll swim in the tears we cry
They'll see us through to the other side
We're gonna make it
When love is a raging sea
You can hold on to me
We'll find a way tonight
Love is an ocean wide

I'll stay right here
It's where I'll always belong
Tied with your arms
Days like this, I wish the sun wouldn't set
I don't want to forget
What made us feel this way
You see through all my fears
And that's what got us here

[Chorus]

Love is an ocean wide enough to forget
Even when we think we can't

MySpace Girl - the afters lyrics

I saw you once, it was enough
You asked me what I wanted, I want you
But I replied, I'll have some fries
So mesmerized, my heart was over driving through

I saw your name and unashamed
I searched within 500 miles to find
Any clue just as to who I've fallen for
Cause you've got me and I've got time

I saw your picture on Myspace
Maybe someday we can turn it into ourspace baby
I don't care how long it takes
I'm saving space in my top 8 for you

The second time you were so nice
I loved the way told me to enjoy my day
But I know what you meant to say instead
Was really that you wanted us to run away

I said let's go, I'll pack my clothes
Just promise me you'll wear that purple dress you have
You look so cute when you're confused
You backed away and asked me how I new about that

I know you're scared
I know our love is crazy
And I'm so crazy
You make me crazy
For you

We Are The Sound - the afters lyrics

Now is the time we have
Take it, never give it back
Say what you mean to say
This could be your only chance

Everybody's watching out
For someone who can show them how
To be what they wanna be and
Stand never backing down

Here we are
Here we are

We are the sound
We are the siren
We're all around
And we won't stop singing it out

Shout it out
Like you believe it
We'll break it down
When we all start singing it out
Shout it out now

Silence is an enemy
That keeps us from the things we need
It ages but it never grows
So quiet that we start to bleed

Lets shake it off and let it go
Forgetting what we think we know
We'll make it all a memory
We're taking back control

Falling Into Place - the afters lyrics

It was raining on the sun
The ground beneath my feet was crumbling
Day and Night had come undone
It was the season of my wandering

Somehow Somewhere
You found me there
It was the moment that it all became clear

I was on the edge
Of a distant world
A shattered life
With no where left to turn
Till I saw you there
And everything I thought had gone to waste
Was falling into place

It's finally quiet in my head
As I lay the pieces at your feet
It's finally starting to make sense
I guess I found the missing part of me

Oceans that I almost drowned in
I had to lose it all
Just so I could find out you were there to break my fall

Beautiful Words - the afters lyrics

Slow down
This is such a blur
Tell me what's the hurry now
Have we been running round in circles
Missing all that we could be
You say it's not too late

[Chorus:]
We are words
On pages that we've left unturned
An ending no one's ever heard
We are a story slowly unfolding
Beautiful words

I could walk across the ocean
With you walking next to me
And you could melt away this winter
Now we're starting over
We will see it's not too late

[Chorus]

That last when everything else has passed
Even when the stars are gone
I know every single beautiful word that we were will live on

[Chorus]

Forty-Two - the afters lyrics

I came into this world to find a reason to live
I came with nothing to give
Nothing I could offer, nothing I could ever do
Before you set the stars up in the sky
You came and took me aside
You told me I was part of the plan
You told me I was yours

Will you tell me what this life is all about
Will you show me how to make my time here count
Will lead the way on, to the other side
Because I want to feel alive

If I could only see right to the end
I'd know just where to begin
I could put together all the little pieces
You carry the world, You hold it in your hands
It's all a part of your plan
Show me how to love, won't you help me find my way to you

Will you tell me what this life is all about
Will you show me how to make my time here count
Will lead the way on, to the other side
Because I want to feel alive

There's a place for us
The perfect place for us

Summer Again - the afters lyrics

I'm watching the green give into gold
As summer becomes October's cold
Gravity begs
For one final kiss
She drops it to him, as she gives in

Traces of light, linger around
As laces of white fall to the ground
The softest of sounds for the heaviest things
And the pain that it brings

As she falls I try to catch her
For one last touch of warmth from summer
As one thing leaves to becomes another again
I remember when

Don't remember the day, she started to fade
The ground felt a chill as she gave it away
A whisper - a sigh, for the time that she passed
But this winter won't last

As she falls I try to catch her
For one last touch of warmth from summer
As one thing leaves to becomes another again
I remember when
Oh to be with summer again

The days were warm and we wore them like skin
Now I feel the effects of October again

As she falls I try to catch her
For one last touch of warmth from summer
As one thing leaves to becomes another again
I remember when
Oh to be with summer again

I'm watching the green give in to gold
As summer becomes Octobers cold

One Moment Away - the afters lyrics

Wake up and smile
Put on a tie
Walk to the car
And wave goodbye
Radio on
You're singing along
It's all gonna change but how could you know

You're one moment away
One chance left to take
And you're gone
Are they gonna remember you for running away
Or saving the day from the darkness
And letting your love shine through
What will you do
You're one moment away

Eyes are on you
The pressure is on
Where will you stand when the lines have been drawn
The clocks have all stopped, the story's been told
This is your life, so how will it show

No you can't pretend that forever
Will never come knocking at your door

Run through the flames
Never look back
What did you think that you came here for

"I Wish We All Could Win" (2005)



Beautiful Love - the afters lyrics

Far away, I feel your beating heart
All alone, beneath the crystal stars
Staring into space, what a lonely face
I'll try to find my place with you

[chorus]
What a beautiful smile
Can I stay for awhile?
On this beautiful night
We'll make everything right
My beautiful love, my beautiful love

Larger than the moon, my love for you
Worlds collide as heaven pulls us through
The secret of the world is written in the stars
I'm carrying your heart in mine

[chorus]
What a beautiful smile
Can I stay for awhile?
On this beautiful night
We'll make everything right
My beautiful love

Maybe a greater thing will happen
Maybe all will see
Maybe our love will catch like fire
As it burns through me
[3x]

[chorus]

What a beautiful smile
Can I stay for awhile?
On this beautiful night
We'll make everything right
[2x]

My beautiful love
La la la la love
La la la la love

My beautiful
La la la la love
La la la la love

My beautiful love

Until The World - the after lyrics

I lose myself to find in me
The way it really ought to be
It's hard to say I love you
It's hard to say I need you
If all is well it's hard to tell
It hurts to think of someone else
It's hard to say I'll be there
It's hard to say I really, really care

[Chorus:]
Until the world won't turn
'Til the planets burn
Until the sun dies I'll be there
Until the heavens come
'Til this life is done
Until the world dies I'll be there

I can't see outside myself
How can I live for someone else
It's hard to say I'm sorry
It's hard to say forgive me
I can't believe you're here with me
Into the future I can't see
It's hard to say forever
It's hard to say I'll never ever go

[Repeat Chorus]

Someday - the afters lyrics

Ready or not the years are blurring
Running away the mind is turning
Skip to the end to find the meaning
Thoughts are fading, yet I wonder still
Like it or not your eyes are open
Playing around, the circles going
Face of a child, your mind is old
The clock ran down before I could begin

[Chorus:]
I wish we all could win
I wish we all could smile
I wish we all could make our mothers proud

Want it or not you just can't leave it
Throw it away, I can't believe it
Walking for days, I know you'll see that
Times are changing, soon we'll be the same

[Repeat Chorus]

[Bridge:]
Someday, someday, someday
You'll come around
Someday, someday, someday
Your time will come
There's nothing more that I can do
I know we all can make it through
I hope that someday you will see

[Repeat chorus and bridge]

Love Lead Me On - the afters lyrics

Someday I'm gonna go out to the country
I'll drive til the hightway ends
Chasing after picture perfect sunsets
To take my breath away
I'm tired of living in the city
The world's got me tied on a string
Wanderlust has overcome me
Like Lewis and Clark I'll dream
There's a million different ways to go
Only God can know where I will call my home

Love lead me on
Where no one else has gone
Faith keep me strong
Love lead me on

The open road can be so lonely
I'm longing for someone to love
If only I could share my new surroundings
Open the doors above
There's a million different ways to go
Only God can know where I will call my home

Love lead me on
Where no one else has gone
Faith keep me strong
Love lead me on

Faith keep me strong
Love lead me home

All That I Am - the afters lyrics

I feel a burning, deep inside of me
I feel Your Spirit, It's moving around me
I hear Your voice, You're calling me closer
I know that You're here, You're calling me closer
And I will

[Chorus:]
Love you will all of my heart
Jesus I'll love You will all of my mind
Jesus I'll love You will all of my soul
Jesus I'll love You with all that I am

I know that You hear me when I say my prayers
I know that You're with me even when I'm all alone
When I close my eyes, You're calling me closer
When I pull away, You're pulling me closer
And I will

[Chorus]

You are holy, Lord God Almighty
You are holy, Lord God Almighty
Who Was and Is and soon will come again
Lord you are and now You're coming again
Just like You said, You're coming again
And I will

[Chorus]

The Way You Are - the afters lyrics

Until You came I was just the same
As everybody else
Whoever saw the light and turned away

You love me now
You loved me then
And every now and then
You show me how it would be if I'd gone the other way

After all this time I've come to find my soul's fragility
But You've rectified my frailty by your strength

It's like the sun swallowed up by the earth
Like atomics bombs in reverse
As if a glass could contain the sea
That's the way You are in me
That's the way You are

Now here I stand looking back
To the way things used to be
But I will never be alone again

You're with me
And now I see
What it means to me
To be a part of such a mystery

After all this time I've come to find my soul's fragility
But You've rectified my frailty by your strength

It's like the sun swallowed up by the earth
Like atomics bombs in reverse
As if a glass could contain the sea
That's the way You are in me
That's the way You are

You - the afters lyrics

My heart is as frail as a dove
And my spirit is as weak as a rose
See my sorrow, feel my pain
You're my refuge, You're my reason,
My strength in this beautiful place
That's where I find God

[Chorus:]
You're in my heart, You're in my soul
You are my heaven, You're my home
You're my best friend, You're my true love
You are my treasure, You're my God

I watch as the mountains fall down
And the rivers part at Your feet
Your creation sings Your praise
Even winds obey and angels bow down
At Your beautiful voice
That's where I find God

[Repeat Chorus]

You're in my heart, You're in my soul
You are my heaven, You're my home
You're my best friend, You're my true love
You are my treasure, You're my hope
You are my peace, You are my joy
You are my Savior, You're my God

Love Will Make You Beautiful - the afters lyrics

Time is slipping away
Days go by, fade away
With one eye opened, one closed
I think you know
Love will make you beautiful
Love will make you beautiful
Thoughts swirl, spinning around
Weary, falling down
When out of the darkness a hand
Reach out
Hold fast

[Chorus]
Love will make you beautiful
Love will make you beautiful

Turn round this time
Love is there to find
Lift your head and see
Open uo your eyes
Love will make you beautiful
Love will make you beautiful

Wait - the afters lyrics

Wait
Wait, I can hardly wait
To look into Your face
When the world disappears into Your eyes
Wait, I can hardly wait
To hear Your sweet voice say
You've done well, my good and faithful son
Breathe, I can hardly breathe
In anticipation
Waiting for the day to come
When You will shine on me
Wait, I can hardly wait
To bow down at Your feet
Kiss the scars that bore my sins away
I can hardly breathe
In anticipation
Waiting for the day to come
When You will shine on me
Wait, I can hardly wait

Thank God I'm Not The One - the afters lyrics

How could You walk when You went down that dusty street
How could You speak when all your friends checked out
How could You love after the great betrayal
How could You reach out when they nailed You down

[Chorus:]
True as true can be
That's what they say You are to me when I'm so fake
Does Your heart ache
If I had been the one I would not have been that strong
If I had been the one, yeah, I'd have been long gone

How could You hang on with Your mama crying
How could You keep on breathing in and out
How could You watch while Your whole world was dying
Did it all happen cause we let You down

[Repeat Chorus]

And all the things we think of as eternal would come undone
All I have to say is when I'm praying
Is "Thank God I'm not the One"
