This song sets the stage for a lot of the album’s themes–most obvious are the references to ‘God’, which crop up all over the album. In this song, Alex is pretty straightforward, casting ‘God’ as a constant companion/source of strength in a life otherwise defined by turmoil and change. This runs par...
[Chorus: Alex G]
After all
People come and people go away
Yeah but God with me he stayed
Yeah but God with me he stayed
After all
Things may come and things may go away
Yeah but God with me he stayed
Yeah but God with me he stayed
[Verse: Alex G]
There are rooms where I can't hang my head
There are tears that I can't cry
In the years you feel the most alone
You will build the walls I climb
[Chorus: Alex G]
After all
People comе and people go away
Yeah but God with mе he stayed
Yeah but God with me he stayed
After all
Things may come and things may go away
Yeah but God with me he stayed
Yeah but God with me he stayed
[Verse 2: Alex G]
Were you young when you lost innocence?
Did the world feel so unkind?
Well the years have passed and I can say
That a love will come in time
[Outro: Jessica Lea Mayfield]
People come and people go away
Yeah but God with me he stayed
Yeah, God with me he stayed
After all
Things may come and things may go away
Yeah but God with me he stayed
Yeah, God with me he stayed
