After All Lyrics

After all

Are we not singing the same ole songs

Telling the same stories as the past

And after all

Are we more than our parents

Just trying hard to make

Something that lasts

We've got tales of heartache

Heartbreak

Volcanoes and earthquakes

Stubbornness and brokenness

Soft hearts and bitterness

After All

Are we wearing new holes

Into our parents shoes

Taking no chances or risks

Cause we're too afraid to lose

And after all

Do we ever start anew

Or are we simply trading places

Just to change the morning view

We're telling tales of heartache

Heartbreaks

Storm clouds and aeroplanes

Wretchedness and brokenness

A hope anew inside our veins

The story was and is to be

Not written in stone yet fully meant to be

A thousand voices calling out

Each one seems so soft yet loud

And if we find ourselves alone

We know that soon we're coming home

Singing songs of heartache

Heartbreaks

Long goodbyes and mistakes

Shattered dreams and flowing streams

Another song with instrumental breaks

We're singing songs of heartache

Heartbreaks

Copycats and remakes

Shattered dreams and guitar strings

Beating hearts and flapping wings

In the courts of kings and queens

On the edge of something great
