DEAR GOD A lonely road, crossed another
cold state line
Miles away from those I love
purpose hard to find
While I recall all the words you
spoke to me
Can ’t help but wish that I was
there
Back where I’d love to be, oh
yeah
Dear God the only thing I ask of
you is
to hold her when I’m not around,
when I’m much too far away
We all need that person who can
be true to you
But I left her when I found her
And now I wish I ’d stayed
’Cause I’m lonely and I’m tired
I’m missing you again oh no
Once again
There’s nothing here for me on
this barren road
There ’s no one here while the
city sleeps
and all the shops are closed
Can ’t help but think of the times
I’ve had with you
Pictures and some memories will
have to help me through, oh
yeah
Dear God the only thing I ask of
you is
to hold her when I’m not around,
when I’m much too far away
We all need that person who can
be true to you
I left her when I found her
And now I wish I ’d stayed
’Cause I’m lonely and I’m tired
I’m missing you again oh no
Once again
Some search, never finding a way
Before long, they waste away
I found you, something told me
to stay
I gave in, to selfish ways
And how I miss someone to hold
when hope begins to fade …

Once again AFTERLIFE Like walking into a dream,
so unlike what you’ve
seen
sounsure but it seems,
’cause we’ve been waiting
for you
Falleninto this place, just
giving you a small taste
ofyour 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
sohow 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
Falleninto this place, just
giving you a small taste
ofyour afterlife here so
stay, you’ll be back here
soon anyway
This peace on earth’s not
right (with my back
against the wall)
Nopain 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
Pleaseunderstand 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
Gotnothing against you
and surely I’ll miss you
This place full of peace
and light, and I’d hope
you might
take meback 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
thatthere’s somebody
listening
Giveme a chance to be
that person I wanna be
(Iam unbroken; I’m
choking on this ecstasy)
OhLord I’ll try so hard
but you gotta let go of me
(Unbreakme, unchain
me, I need another
chance to live)
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
Gotnothing against you
and surely I’ll miss you
This place full of peace
and light, and I’d hope
you might
take meback inside when
the time is right SEIZE THE DAY Seize the day or die
regretting the time you
lost
It’s empty and cold
without you here, too
many people to ache over
I see my vision burn, I
feel my memories fade
with time
ButI’m too young to
worry
These streets we travel on
will undergo our same
lost past
I found you here, now
please just stay for a while
Ican move on with you
around
I hand you my mortal life,
but will it be forever?
I’d do anything for a
smile, holding you ’til our
time is done
Weboth know the day
will come, but I don’t
want to leave you
I see my vision burn, I
feel my memories fade
with time
ButI’m too young to
worry (a melody, a
memory, or just one
picture)
Seize the day or die
regretting the time you
lost
It’s empty and cold
without you here, too
many people to ache over
Newborn life replacing all
of us, changing this fable
we live in
No longer needed here so
where do we go?
Willyou take a journey
tonight, follow me past
the walls of death?
But girl, what if there is no
eternal life?
I see my vision burn, I
feel my memories fade
with time
ButI’m too young to
worry (a melody, a
memory, or just one
picture)
Seize the day or die
regretting the time you
lost
It’s empty and cold
without you here, too
many people to ache over
Trials in life, questions of
us existing here, don’t
wanna die alone without
you here
Pleasetell me what we
have is real
So, what if I never hold
you, yeah, or kiss your
lips again?
Woooaaah, so I never
want to leave you and the
memories of us to see
I beg don’t leave me
Seize the day or die
regretting the time you
lost
It’s empty and cold
without you here, too
many people to ache over
Trials in life, questions of
us existing here, don’t
wanna die alone without
you here
Pleasetell me what we
have is real
Silence you lost me, no
chance for one more day
[x2 then continues in the
background]
I stand here alone
Falling away from you, no
chance to get back home
I stand here alone
Falling away from you, no
chance to get back home SO FAR AWAY
