I believe it’s a song about loving someone so, so dearly, but wondering what’d happen if they were taken away from you.
what would life be, who would you be if your #1 person died?
that’s what this is about.
[Intro]
Ooh-hoo-hoo-hooo
[Verse 1]
I'm sending out a signal, waiting on a callback from you
Did I hear an echo? Or am I living in déjà vu?
Corrosion in the wires (Wires)
Makes it hard for me to understand
Part of me is curious, part of me is too afraid to ask
[Pre-Chorus]
You are the only one I ever really loved
[Chorus]
What happens after you?
What happens after you?
[Verse 2]
We're zooming to the future, and there's no way to turn back the clock
I've been depending on you, and now I'm all alone on this rock
Life is unfamiliar, everything is written down in code
All I have is a memory, all I have is a memory (Of a memory)
[Pre-Chorus]
You are the only one I ever really loved
[Chorus]
What happens after you?
What happens after you?
[Bridge]
Will I go crazy, sadistic, swinging 'round a big stick?
Will I grow kinder when I see how fragile life is?
My mind spins, what happens after (Ooh-hoo-hoo-hooo)
What happens after you?
What happens after you, you, you?
[Pre-Chorus]
You are the only one I ever really loved
[Chorus]
What happens after you?
What happens after you?
[Outro]
Will I go crazy, sadistic, swinging 'round a big stick?
Will I grow kinder when I see how fragile life is?
My mind spins, what happens after (Ooh-hoo-hoo-hooo)
What happens after you?
