Live On Forever (2016)



Battles lyrics - The Afters

This current is trying to wreck me
Like castles of sand, castles of sand.
My fear, like an enemy army
Is marching again, but I'm making a stand.

You surround me on every side
Your love is my armor I fear no evil.
Darkness runs from your light
So I won't be afraid, I won't be afraid.

You're going before me
And oceans are parting
You're fighting my battles.
When my feet are failing
And my heart is shaking
You're fighting my battles.
Fighting my battles...

Time after time you're my refuge,
You heal every scar you're guarding my heart.
Your promise, the hope that I cling to,
My rescue, my friend you come rushing in.

And surround me on every side
Your love is my armor I fear no evil.
Darkness runs from your light
So I won't be afraid, I won't be afraid

You're going before me
And oceans are parting
You're fighting my battles.
When my feet are failing
And my heart is shaking
You're fighting my battles.
Fighting my battles...

In my weakness you are strong
Every trouble you have overcome
In my weakness you are strong
Every trouble you have overcome
In my weakness you are strong
Every trouble you have overcome
You have overcome

You're going before me
And oceans are parting
You're fighting my battles.
When my feet are failing
And my heart is shaking
You're fighting my battles.
Fighting my battles...

Live On Forever lyrics - The Afters

Dark days are gonna go away
They won't have the final say
These bones were always gonna fade
'Cause we were made for another place
The moment of our final breath
When all our fears are put to rest
Every tear will disappear
Heaven is real

We're gonna live on
Forever, forever, forever
We're gonna live on
Forever, forever, forever
We are not where we belong
We have a hope we're gonna live on
Forever, forever, forever

Breathing air we have never breathed
We'll see colors we've never seen
Every sound like a symphony
Rising up as the angels sing
The arms of grace are open wide
The face of love before our eyes
Where every tear will disappear
Heaven is real

We're gonna live on
Forever, forever, forever
We're gonna live on
Forever, forever, forever
We are not where we belong
We have a hope we're gonna live on
Forever, forever, forever

Our hearts have been set in motion
For something more, for something more
Than we could ever imagine
There's so much more, there's so much more
[x2]

We're gonna live on
Forever, forever, forever
We're gonna live on
Forever, forever, forever
We are not where we belong
We have a hope we're gonna live on
Forever, forever, forever

"Life Is Beautiful" (2013)



Every Good Thing lyrics - The Afters

I tend to be busier than I should be
And I tend to think that time is gonna wait for me
Sometimes I forget and take for granted
That it's a beautiful life we live
I don't wanna miss the moments like this
This is a beautiful life You give

You're the reason for every good thing, every heartbeat
Every day we get to breathe
You're the reason for anything that lasts, every second chance
Every laugh, life is so sweet
You're the reason for every good thing, every good thing
Every good thing, every good thing...

There will be days that give me more than I can take
But I know that You always make beauty from my heartache
Don't wanna forget or take for granted
That it's a beautiful life we live
I'm not gonna miss the moments like this
This is a beautiful life You give

You're the reason for every good thing, every heartbeat
Every day we get to breathe
You're the reason for anything that lasts, every second chance
Every laugh, life is so sweet
You're the reason for every good thing, every good thing
Every good thing, every good thing...

It's our family, it's our friends
It's the feeling that I get when I see my children smile
You're the reason for this life, everything we love
It's You alive in us
You're alive in us

You're the reason for every good thing, every heartbeat
Every day we get to breathe
You're the reason for anything that lasts, every second chance
Every laugh, life is so sweet
You're the reason for every good thing, every good thing
Every good thing, every good thing...

You are, You are here in every moment,
And I know that You're every good thing
You are, You are here in every moment,
And I know that You're the reason for
Every good thing, every good thing...

Breathe In Breathe Out lyrics - The Afters

I always think tomorrow will be better
That there will come a day when I arrive
That the list of everything I've got to do
Will be a page of empty lines

I apologize to myself for living in the future
And letting what’s ahead get in the way
Because if happiness is always down the road
Then I'm missing it today

Breathe in, Breathe out
Slow down, slow down
Everybody look around
Life is where we are now
Breathe in, Breathe out

I don't need no money to be wealthy
There's more to life than working for green
Climbing all these ladders doesn't matter
I’ve got everything I need

Breathe in, Breathe out
Slow down, slow down
Everybody look around
Life is where we are now
Breathe in, Breathe out

I'm running a race that no one wins
And setting the pace for the Joneses
But I see the warning signs
Those yellow flashing lights
And I wonder why

Breathe in, Breathe out
Slow down, slow down
Everybody look around
Life is where we are now
Breathe in, Breathe out

Broken Hallelujah lyrics - The Afters

I can barely stand right now.
Everything is crashing down,
And I wonder where you are.

I try to find the words to pray.
I don't always know what to say,
But you're the one that can hear my heart.

Even though I don't know what your plan is,
I know you make beauty from these ashes.

I've seen joy and I've seen pain.
On my knees, I call your name.
Here's my broken hallelujah.

With nothing left to hold onto,
I raise these empty hands to you.
Here's my broken, here's my broken,
Hallelujah [x3]
(Here's my broken)
Hallelujah

You know the things that have brought me here.
You know the story of every tear.
'Cause you've been here from the very start.

Even though I don't know what your plan is,
I know you make beauty from these ashes.

I've seen joy and I've seen pain.
On my knees, I call your name.
Here's my broken Hallelujah.

With nothing left to hold onto,
I raise these empty hands to you.
Here's my broken, here's my broken,
Hallelujah [x3]
(Here's my broken)
Hallelujah

When all is taken away, don't let my heart be changed.
Let me always sing Hallelujah
And when I feel afraid, don't let my hope be erased
Let me always sing (let me always sing),
Let my always sing,
Hallelujah [x3]
(Let my always sing)
Hallelujah
(Let my always sing)
Hallelujah

Here's my broken,
Here's my broken,
Hallelujah [x3]

Here's my broken,
Here's my broken,
Hallelujah [x4]

Moments Like This lyrics - The Afters

Here we are on top of the stars
Never thought we'd ever get this far
We live for moments like this
We come alive in moments like this

Here we are this is the time
Like a dream coming to life
We live for moments like these
We come alive in moments like these

I try to take a breath. Thoughts racing through my head.
I try to capture it, but a picture can't hold what a heart is feeling.
I just wanna stop the world from spinning,
Slow it all down for a minute so that I can take it in.

Here we are on top of the stars
Never thought we'd ever get this far
We live for moments like these
We come alive in moments like these
Here we are, this is our time.
Like a dream coming to life.
We live for moments like this.
We come alive in moments like this.
In moments like this

I don't wanna close my eyes. I'm feeling so alive.
I try to find the words, but no words can say what my heart is feeling.
I just wanna stop the world from spinning,
Slow it all down for a minute so that I can take it in.

Here we are on top of the stars
Never thought we'd ever get this far
We live for moments like these
We come alive in moments like these
Here we are, this is our time.
Like a dream coming to life.
We live for moments like this.
We come alive in moments like this.
In moments like this

We'll hold up a light, burning holes in the night
When we are here, when we are here.
So we'll hold up a light, burning holes in the night
When we are here, when we are here.

Moments like this
Moments like this

Here we are on top of the stars
Never thought we'd ever get this far
We live for moments like these
We come alive in moments like these
Here we are, this is our time.
Like a dream coming to life.
We live for moments like this.
We come alive in moments like this.
In moments like this

Find Your Way lyrics - The Afters

Don't believe, the bridge from you to me
Could somehow ever be washed away.
Don't give in.
Don't start listening to voices
Whispering things I'd never say.

There is nothing you could do to make me turn my back on you.

You're never to lost to know where the road is.
It could be dark, you could be hopeless
But I'll wait ‘til you find your way.
You're never to far to be forgotten.
Here in my heart, I hear you calling.
So I'll wait ‘til you find your way back home.
'Til you find your way
'Til you find your way home
'Til you find your way
'Til you find your way home

The hardest part is to just sit waiting.
My heart breaking for you.
There's an empty space
Where I save your place
Knowing that someday I'll look at you.

You're never to lost to know where the road is.
It could be dark, you could be hopeless
But I'll wait ‘til you find your way.
You're never to far to be forgotten.
Here in my heart, I hear you calling.
So I'll wait ‘til you find your way back home.
'Til you find your way
'Til you find your way home
'Til you find your way
'Til you find your way home

With my heart still hoping
And my arms wide open,
I'll never give up this fight.
I know we'll talk like we used to,
And we'll walk like we used to.
It's just a matter of time.

There is nothing you could do to make me turn my back on you.

You're never to lost to know where the road is.
It could be dark, you could be hopeless
But I'll wait ‘til you find your way.
You're never to far to be forgotten.
Here in my heart, I hear you calling.
So I'll wait ‘til you find your way back home.
'Til you find your way
'Til you find your way home
'Til you find your way
'Til you find your way home

Life Is Beautiful lyrics - The Afters

Through the window
I see you waiting
You are smiling
Cause I'm coming
Your eyes are a story
An ocean of memories
Pictures of faces and places
And all of the things
That make us feel like we have it all

All of the times
That make us realize
We have it all
We have it all

Life is beautiful
Life is beautiful

Living and dying
Laughing or crying
If we have the whole world or have nothing
I know there are long nights
But we'll make it
With every sunrise comes a new light
And all of the things
That make us feel like we have it all

All of the times
That make us realize
We have it all
We have it all

Life is beautiful
Life is beautiful
Life is beautiful

A father's love
A wedding dance
New Year's dreams
A toast with friends
A soldier coming home from war
The faith the hope of so much more
A brand new life, a mother's prayer
Shooting stars, ocean air
A lover's kiss, and hard goodbyes
Fireworks, Christmas lights

These are things that make us feel alive
These are the times that make us realize

Life is beautiful
Life is beautiful
Life is beautiful

These are the times that make us realize

Love Is In The Air lyrics - The Afters

Love is in the air tonight
Love is everywhere tonight
Moving through my heart like the wind,
I come alive as I breathe it in.
Love is in the air.
Love is in the air tonight.

Here, under the bright lights, no one around, its only you and me.
Here, until the sunrise, I wanna stay with you and never leave.
The world's slowing down, my heart's speeding up, I know it might seem crazy.
I look into your eyes, lighting up the night when you are with me.

Love is in the air tonight
Love is everywhere tonight
Moving through my heart like the wind,
I come alive as I breathe it in.
Love is in the air.
Love is in the air tonight.

Here, we're feeling weightless as we escape gravity.
Where will this take us? Imagine all that we can be.
The world's slowing down, my heart's speeding up, I know it might seem crazy.
I look into your eyes, lighting up the night when you are with me.

Love is in the air tonight
Love is everywhere tonight
Moving through my heart like the wind,
I come alive as I breathe it in.
Love is in the air.
Love is in the air tonight.

While world's in motion, we're like a picture frozen.
I wanna stay with you as long as I can breathe
Love is in the air tonight
Love is in the air tonight
Love is in the air tonight
Love is in the air tonight

Love is in the air tonight
Love is everywhere tonight
Moving through my heart like the wind,
I come alive as I breathe it in.
Love is in the air.
Love is in the air tonight.

Believe (Waiting For An Answer) lyrics - The Afters

Walking through the halls of a desperate place
I see it on the faces.
All the mothers all the fathers searching for some faith
Here I am
I’m one of them, my world inside a broken frame
Still waiting for an answer
Every day I’m getting closer

The more it hurts the more I need of you
The more I search the more I see of you
I don’t have to know how
Or see you turn this around
To believe in you, to believe in you now

Walking through the streets that money built
Every castle has a hill.
All the dreams, all the chasers.
Cages waiting to be filled
Here I am one of them
Can I be stronger than my will
I'm still waiting for an answer
Every day I'm getting closer

The more it hurts the more I need of you
The more I search the more I see of you
I don’t have to know how
Or see you turn this around
To believe in you, to believe in you now

The tears we cry from all the pain
You won’t let them go to waste
An aching heart will know your face

Through every night, through every fear.
You're by my side, I know you’re here.
And in this life, I'm not alone, I'm not alone,

The more it hurts the more I need of you
Through every night, through every fear. [background]
The more I search the more I see of you
You're by my side, I know you’re here.
And in this life, I'm not alone, I'm not alone.

I don’t have to know how
Or see you turn this around
To believe in you, to believe in you now.

What We're Here For lyrics - The Afters

This is what we're here for.
This is what we're here for.

Friday, came home waved to a neighbor I don't know.
He smiled at me and I believed he was doing just fine.
His eyes can't lie.
There's something tearing him up on the inside
I wonder what it is, I should ask him.
But I've got my own life
Will I pass by?
Or am I gonna take the time?

This is what we're here for.
To show the world how You love it.
This is what we're made for.
To lay it all down like You did.
When we feel useless, You still use us.
Help us not forget.
This is what we're here for.
This is what we're here for.

We're here to slow down, reach out
and take a better look around.
Just a little bit of time can change a life
So I won't walk by and leave up to the next guy
I wanna be what I believe all of the time
I've got my own life, but it's not mine.

This is what we're here for.
To show the world how You love it.
This is what we're made for.
To lay it all down like You did.
When we feel useless, You still use us.
Help us not forget.
This is what we're here for.
This is what we're here for.

To give, to love, to be the ones to show that you have overcome the dark,
The night, the pain we fight...that You are alive.

This is what we're here for.
To show the world how You love it.
This is what we're made for.
To lay it all down like You did.
When we feel useless, You still use us.
Help us not forget.
This is what we're here for.
This is what we're here for.

With You Always lyrics - The Afters

Just another lonely night inside these walls
Hearing the tears that fall and echo through the halls
In that moment, all alone
When my strength is nearly gone
And it feels like it’s the end
I can hear you say again

I am with you
I am with you always
You don’t have to be afraid
I’ll be comfort through the pain
I am with you
I am with you always
Know that I’ll be right beside you
Even on the hardest days
I’m with you always

I have everything I thought I wanted in this life
And from the outside everything is looking fine
But on the inside, crying out
Feels like no one hears me make a sound
But you hear me when I pray
Through the silence I hear you say

I am with you
I am with you always
You don’t have to be afraid
I’ll be comfort through the pain
I am with you
I am with you always
Know that I’ll be right beside you
Even on the hardest days
I’m with you always

For every moment of your life
For every smile and tear you cry
Even when your heart will break
When it feels like more than you can take
Through every single sleepless night
And every battle that you fight.
From now until the end of time
I am with you

I am with you
I am with you always
You don’t have to be afraid
I’ll be comfort through the pain
I am with you
I am with you always
Know that I’ll be right beside you
Even on the hardest days
I’m with you always

In My Eyes lyrics - The Afters

You're walking, but no one seems to notice.
Like a picture out of focus, but it looks clear to me.
You're talking, feeling like no ones listening.
You think you're not interesting, but I just don't agree.

You're the color showing through a world of black and white.
I will always stand by you, cause I am on your side.

In my eyes, you're more than complete.
You're perfect to me,
If you could only see the way that you shine.
In my eyes, if there's one thing that's true,
It's that I believe in you.
You make the world look so bright
And put a smile in my eyes.
In my eyes
In my eyes (put a smile in my eyes)
In my eyes

Do you see the sky is smiling?
There's no need for hiding.
You're all I want to see.
I could spend a lifetime trying
To find the words describing
What you are to me.

You're the color showing through
A world of black and white.
I will always stand by you,
Cause I am on your side.

In my eyes, you're more than complete.
You're perfect to me,
If you could only see the way that you shine.
In my eyes, if there's one thing that's true,
It's that I believe in you.
You make the world look so bright
And put a smile in my eyes.
In my eyes
In my eyes (put a smile in my eyes)
In my eyes

When all you see are the scars, all I see is your heart.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful the way that you are.

In my eyes, you're more than complete.
You're perfect to me,
If you could only see the way that you shine.
In my eyes, if there's one thing that's true,
It's that I believe in you.
You make the world look so bright
And put a smile in my eyes.
In my eyes
In my eyes (put a smile in my eyes)
In my eyes

This Life lyrics - The Afters

I come in to tuck her in.
I'm so tired from where I've been,
Doing all I can to stay awake.

As she goes on about her day,
I hang on every word she says.
She reaches out and puts her hand in mine.

For a moment, we are here together.
And it hits me that this won't last forever.

We can't own it
We just get to hold it for a while.
This Life.
We can't keep it
Or save it for another time.
This Life.

He was always there for me.
Now he's fighting just to breathe.
I tell him it's ok to let go.

As I look into his eyes,
I know that this won't be the last time.
But for now, we're taking different roads.

For a moment, we are here together.
And it hits me that this won't last forever.

We can't own it
We just get to hold it for a while.
This Life.
We can't keep it
Or save it for another time.
This Life.

[x2]
What we give is all we have.
How we love is what will last.
And this hope we know will carry us through this life.
What we give is all we have.
How we love is what will last.
And this hope we know will carry us through this life.

We can't own it
We just get to hold it for a while.
This Life.
We can't keep it
Or save it for another time.
This Life.

We were never meant to stay,
So we don't have to be afraid
Of what is waiting on the other side.
Of this life

"Light Up The Sky" (2010)



Light Up The Sky lyrics - The Afters

When I'm feeling all alone
With so far to go
The signs are no where on this road
Guiding me home
When the night is closing in
Is falling on my skin
Oh God will You come close?

[Chorus]
Light light light up the sky
You light up the sky to show me You are with me
I I I can't deny
No I can't deny that You are right here with me
You've opened my eyes
So I can see You all around me
Light light light up the sky
You light up the sky to show me
That You are with me

When stars are hiding in the clouds
I don't feel them shining
When I can't see You beyond my doubt
The silver lining
When I've almost reached the end
Like a flood You're rushing in
Your love is rushing in

[Chorus]

So I run straight into Your arms
You're the bright and morning sun
To show Your love there's nothing You won't do

[Chorus]

That You are with me
That You are with me

Lift Me Up lyrics - The Afters

You lift me up with your love
You lift me up with your love
You lift me up with your love
You lift me up

Waiting for the sunrise
Waiting for the day
Waiting for a sign
That I'm where you want me to be

You know my heart is heavy
And the hurt is deep
But when I feel like giving up
You're reminding me
That we all fall down sometimes
But when I hit the ground

You lift me up when I am weak
Your arms wrap around me
Your love catches me so I'm letting go
You lift me up when I can't see
Your heart is all that I need
Your love carries me so I'm letting go

You lift me up with your love
You lift me up with your love
You lift me up with your love
You lift me up

I know I'm not perfect
I know I make mistakes
I know that I have let you down
But you love me the same

And when I'm surrounded
When I lose my way
When I'm crying out and falling down
You are here to

Lift me up when I am weak
Your arms wrap around me
Your love catches me so I'm letting go
You lift me up when I can't see
Your heart is all that I need
Your love carries me so I'm letting go

I can see the dawn is breaking
I am feeling overtaken with your love
With your love
I don't know what I can offer
In this moment I surrender to your love
To your love

You lift me up when I am weak
Your arms wrap around me
Your love catches me so I'm letting go

You lift me up when I am weak
Your arms wrap around me
Your love catches me so I'm letting go
You lift me up when I can't see
Your heart is all that I need
Your love carries me so I'm letting go

I can see the dawn is breaking
I am feeling overtaken with your love

You lift me up with your love
You lift me up with your love
You lift me up with your love
You lift me up

Start Over lyrics - The Afters

The impossible is possible
But your fear is so responsible
For keeping you down
Keeping you down.

Your unreachable is reachable
But you'll never grab
The wonderful
with your feet on the ground
Your feet on the ground

If you fall on your face
Don't just leave it to fate
No such thing as too late
It's not too late

To start over, start over, start over
Start over, start over, start over
You never have what you want to lose
So pick it up, up, up
Dust off your shoes
Start over, start over, start over
Start over, start over, start over
You've gotta find, find, find the other side,
So give it one, one, one more try.
Start over

You only fail
If you never try
You'll never live
Tryin' not to die.
I'm telling you now, I'm telling you now.
Don't ever stop,
Give all you've got
Don't hesitate, to take a shot
It all comes around, it all comes around.

If you fall on your face
Don't just leave it to fate
No such thing as too late
It's not too late

To start over, start over, start over
Start over, start over, start over
You never have what you want to lose
So pick it up, up, up
Dust off your shoes
Start over, start over, start over
Start over, start over, start over
You've gotta find, find, find the other side,
So give it one, one, one more try.
Start over

There's so much, so much left to gain
There's so much, so much to lose
You'll never know until know until you make a move.

If you fall on your face
Don't just leave it to fate
No such thing as too late
It's not too late

To start over, start over, start over
Start over, start over, start over
You never have what you want to lose
So pick it up, up, up
Dust off your shoes
Start over, start over, start over
Start over, start over, start over
You've gotta find, find, find the other side,
So give it one, one, one more try.
Start over

Start over, start over, start over
Start over, start over, start over
Start over

Runaway lyrics - The Afters

Hear your voice on the phone
And my heart just died when you said you're not going home
Where are you, are you safe?
Are you trying to escape from what you can't undo?
Hoping that the world forgets you
But I can't, no I won't forget you

I know you're out there tonight
Looking for somewhere to hide
Hey, hey, hey
You don't have to runaway
You're hanging over the edge
It's not too late to look back
Hey, hey, hey
You don't have to runaway

Everywhere that you turn
Somehow every face is another bridge that you burn
So you fade, you can't stay
If you can find another life in another place
And hope the world forgets your name
But I can't, no I won't forget you

I know you're out there tonight
Looking for somewhere to hide
Hey, hey, hey
You don't have to runaway
You're hanging over the edge
It's not too late to look back
Hey, hey, hey
You don't have to runaway

You think you lost it all
And there's nothing left of you
There's nowhere you can fall
But love will catch you, (Love will catch you)
But love will catch you, (Love will catch you)
Love will catch you, (Love will catch you)

I know you're out there tonight
Looking for somewhere to hide
Hey, hey, hey
You don't have to runaway
You're hanging over the edge
It's not too late to look back
Hey, hey, hey
You don't have to runaway

Hey, hey, hey...
Hey, hey, hey...
You don't have to runaway

You think you've lost it all...
You think you've lost it all...
You don't have to runaway
You don't have to runaway

I Am Yours lyrics - The Afters

I am Yours
I am Yours
I am Yours
I am Yours

I can walk across the world
And never find the answer
I could search the sky above
And never get any closer
You made it all
And I will have to fall
At the feet of the One
Who fell for me

You gave your life for mine
To have me by your side
I won't look back anymore
Now that I, I am yours
You'll never say goodbye
You are the reason why
I won't look back anymore
Now that I, I am yours

I am Yours
I am Yours
I am Yours
I am Yours

All the rest can disappear
Without any traces
I have nothing left to fear
As long as Your face is
All I can see
You are all I need
Every breath, every step
You're here with me

You gave your life for mine
To have me by your side
I won't look back anymore
Now that I, I am yours
You'll never say goodbye
You are the reason why
I won't look back anymore
Now that I, I am yours

I am Yours
I am Yours
I am Yours
I am Yours

I belong to you
You and you alone
I belong to you
You and you alone
I belong to you
You and you alone

I am Yours
I am Yours
I am Yours
You're here with me

You gave your life for mine
To have me by your side
I won't look back anymore
Now that I, I am yours
You'll never say goodbye
You are the reason why
I won't look back anymore
Now that I, I am yours

I am Yours
I am Yours
I am Yours
I am Yours

I can walk across the world
I can search the sky above
You made it all
And I am Yours

Life Is Sweeter lyrics - The Afters

My heart is giving up
All my plans are broken
Your face is all I see
Though my world is falling
As I watch you head into the sun
I never thought it was my one
Chance to say goodbye
I never want to say goodbye

Life is sweeter, sweeter
On the other side, on the other side
I will see you, see you
On the other side, on the other side
I'll find the stars to light me through
I'll find a way to get to you
Life is sweeter on the other side of here

So far from where you are
But I feel you with me
Your in the place where I belong
Where my life is waiting
As I watch the rising of the sun
I pray that I could have just one
Chance to say goodnight
I never want to say goodbye

Life is sweeter, sweeter
On the other side, on the other side
I will see you, see you
On the other side, on the other side
I'll find the stars to light me through
I'll find a way to get to you
Life is sweeter on the other side of here

Everyday I get a little bit closer
To reaching you
But I can't wait, till I'm with you forever
Everyday I get a little bit closer
To reaching you
But I can't wait till I hold you forever

Life is sweeter, sweeter
On the other side, on the other side
I will see you, see you
On the other side, on the other side
I'll find the stars to light me through
I'll find a way to get to you
Life is sweeter on the other side of here
On the other side of here

Say It Now lyrics - The Afters

Can we work this out
I don't want to close the door
Before the sun goes down
We can't let this go to far
I'll do anything
To meet you anywhere you are
Cause it doesn't matter anymore
Who was right or wrong
If we could only find the words we lost
Before what we have is gone

Say it now, I hope we find a way
To say it now, don't be afraid
To say it now, everything we're keeping inside
Don't wait just let your heart speak
Don't waste another heart beat
Cause we'll never know
Until we let it out, let it out
Say it say it now
Say it say it now

My heart is wearing thin
I don't want to fight a war
That no ones going to win
All this time we've grown apart
Looking for an end
If I'm the one that's holding on
Holding back
Here's how we begin

Say it now, I hope we find a way
To say it now, don't be afraid
To say it now, everything we're keeping inside
Don't wait just let your heart speak
Don't waste another heart beat
Cause we'll never know
Until we let it out, let it out
Say it say it now
Say it say it now

I hope we leave it all behind
No more getting lost between the lines

Can we work this out
I don't want to close the door
Before the sun goes down

Say it now, I hope we find a way
To say it now, don't be afraid
To say it now, everything we're keeping inside
Don't wait just let your heart speak
Don't waste another heart beat
Cause we'll never know
Until we let it out, let it out
Say it say it now
Say it say it now

Cause we'll never know
Until we let it out, let it out
Say it say it now

We Won't Give Up lyrics - The Afters

Everywhere, everyday
All we hear is, all we hear is
Wait, it's not your time
Just get back in line

And they can try to knock us down
We've got our feet nailed to the ground
If you want to count us out, go ahead
But it's not over yet

We won't back down
We've gotta take our best shot
Give it all we got now
We won't back down
They say we'll never make it
But we're gonna take it all the way

We won't give up, we won't give up
We won't give up, we won't give up

With the clock running down
We're gonna leave our fears and failures all behind
This is our time
We'll reach till we touch the sky

We won't back down
We've gotta take our best shot
Give it all we got now
We won't back down
They say we'll never make it
But we're gonna take it all the way

We won't give up, we won't give up
We won't give up, we won't give up
We won't give up, we won't give up
We won't give up, we won't give up

We won't hold back and we won't slow down the pace
We wont let go and we won't call off the chase

We won't back down
We've gotta take our best shot
Give it all we got now
We won't back down
They say we'll never make it
But we're gonna take it all the way

We won't give up, we won't give up
We won't give up! We won't give up!
We won't give up, we won't give up
We won't give up! We won't give up!
We won't give up, we won't give up
They say we'll never make it
But we're gonna take it all the way
We won't give up!

Saving Grace lyrics - The Afters

Like a man on a wire
I balance between
A heart filled with desire
A head that knows everything
Somewhere out in the middle
You found me

I've got one foot in the clouds
One foot on the ground
You keep me steady somehow
Keep me from looking down
Somewhere out in the middle
You found me

Falling into you
Is safe and sound
You open up my eyes
I see it now

You're my saving grace
You're my saving grace
I run to my hiding place
My saving grace

My life hangs on a string
But I'm not afraid
I feel your love down below me
If it starts to break
Somewhere out in the open
You found me

Falling into you
Is safe and sound
You open up my eyes
I see it now

You're my saving grace
You're my saving grace
I run to my hiding place
My saving grace
My saving grace

Carry me now
On your shoulder
I won't look down
Pull me closer

Carry me now
On your shoulder
I won't look down
Pull me closer
Pull me closer

You're my saving grace
You're my saving grace
I run to my hiding place
My saving grace
My saving grace

For The First Time lyrics - The Afters

There's a different sunrise
It's a different world
In a way I feel like
I have just begun

Like I don't remember
Waking up from a dream
All my chains are broken
And it feels so free

I can breathe for the first time
I can see for the first time
It's like you opened my eyes
I can feel my heart is coming alive
I feel alive
I can breathe for the first time
For the first time
For the first time
Oh Oh Oh
For the first time
For the first time

Once a life imprisoned
I was locked in the past
But your love has given
Given one more chance

Once my light was fading
But you gave me yours
Now my world is brighter
Than it was before

I can breathe for the first time
I can see for the first time
It's like you opened my eyes
I can feel my heart is coming alive
I feel alive
I can breathe for the first time
For the first time
For the first time
Oh Oh Oh
For the first time
For the first time

And I've never run so far
I've never felt so strong
When I am where you are
I found where I belong
For the first time
For the first time

I can breathe for the first time
I can see for the first time
It's like you opened my eyes
I can feel my heart is coming alive
I feel alive
I can breathe for the first time
For the first time
For the first time
Oh Oh Oh
For the first time
For the first time

"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"
