Bottle Rocket Lyrics by Light Years

Afterlife

2018

[Verse 1]
I feel the pull from the undertow
As it drags me out to sea
Can you still picture me when we were 17?
Before life took its toll

[Pre-Chorus 1]
All my dreams and big ideas they won't change anything

[Chorus]
Yeah we watched it all fly by
The best things we’ve forgotten
Flashed before my eyes
Faster than a bottle rocket
I know how hard you tried
I'm only being honest
You burned up way too bright
Faster than a bottle rocket

[Verse 2]
The songs you know from the radio
That can take you back in time
What I'll miss the most you would never know
For a second the world was mine

[Pre-Chorus 2]
All my dreams and big ideas they won’t change anything
I'm just looking for a souvenir

[Chorus]
Yeah we watched it all fly by
The best things we've forgotten
Flashed before my eyes
Faster than a bottle rocket
I know how hard you tried
I'm only being honest
You burned up way too bright
Faster than a bottle rocket

[Bridge]
(Faster than a bottle rocket
Faster than a bottle rocket)

When I go don't you worry
(Faster than a bottle rocket)
Oh when I go don't you worry anymore

[Chorus]
Yeah we watched it all fly by
The best things we've forgotten
Flashed before my eyes
Faster than a bottle rocket
I know how hard you tried
I'm only being honest
You burned up way too bright
Faster than a bottle rocket
Faster than a bottle rocket
