Afterlife - Alternate Version

Lyrics

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 piece 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, we 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 hope 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 (I am unbroken, 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)
 ♪
 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 hope you might take me back inside
 When the time is right
