After Everything - The Church

Now that it’s over I found myself fleeting

The sound permeated all directions at once

I never said goodbye to the family, lovers

Brothers and daughters, the rest of the bunch

It seems so strange that the things I was chasing

Have all evaporated like a distant dream

Petty ambition, petty obstruction

Something in between

I really thought it would go on forever

Never believed they would sever the ties

All of the questions remaining unanswered

A stranger’s reflection in a stranger’s eyes

Here is a child playing in a garden

Here is an old man with a broken heart

Here comes a train to take you away

It all goes round and round and comes back to the start

I was never really sure what I was waiting for

When the moment came I was looking away

Obsessed with a past, scared of the future

Never took the time to be here today

After everything now this happens

It’s not a grand illusion, it’s a stupid little trick

The show must go on, these people have paid

You’re standing in the wings feeling kinda sick

Never really sure what you were waiting for

When the moment came you just couldn’t choose

The fog sweeps down over the marine city

Standing backstage trying to pull on your shoes
