[Verse 1]
They say I don't think enough about the afterlife
Of what's below and above, it's all in black and white
They say there's only one kind of love
You have to choose just right
They say there's only one kind of love
[Pre-Chorus 1]
In the afterlife
Kiss it all goodbye
In the afterlife
You don't get another try
[Chorus 1]
But I can't see, I don't know how
That I won't be what I am now, no
Even in my afterlife
And I won't have some other heart
That could find peace though we're apart, no
Even in my afterlife
[Verse 2]
It's not enough anymore to be good in this life
They say you've got to be sure so you can sleep at night
The only love that endures gives up without a fight
The only love that endures
[Pre-Chorus 2]
In the afterlife
Kiss it all goodbye
In the afterlife
It was just a clever lie
[Chorus 2]
If I could never see your face
Then I would have to fall from grace, I know
Even in my afterlife
Or for eternity be blind to your presence in my mind, no
Even in my afterlife
[Bridge]
And they could promise me a seat
At the right side of the throne
But all would still be incomplete
Within the holy host, alone
Without the guiding light so sweet
That has forever led me on
For me there's no eternal rest
You and I have unfinished business
Yes, yes
[Chorus 3]
Even in my afterlife
If I could still hold one thought clear
Then you will instantly appear, I know
Even in my afterlife
[Outro]
But I can't see, I don't know how
I won't be what I am now, no
Not even in my afterlife
And I won't have some other heart
That could find peace though we're apart, no
Even in my afterlife, no no
Even in my afterlife
For I could not repose in bliss
Nevermore to know your kiss
No, no
Even in my afterlife...
