Anyway, After All Lyrics by OK Koala

All Of It, All At Once

0

[Verse 1:]
I was working all summer, wasting time at the same job
You showed up from the stable, sunburnt arms in a tank top
Ooh
You probably spent so much fucking money on fast food
When you came to visit; you know you didn’t have to
Ooh
When I took you to prom, we took pictures in the yard
I think my mother later asked about the cuts on your arms, yeah
Ooh
There was probably a path we could’ve walked on together
But you stayed behind while I went off and changed for the better, aah
Ooh

[Pre-Chorus:]
In the swirling cloud confusion of a high school kid
I know this world was our illusion, but that light don’t win
You can lie and I will try to pick a side that ain’t my own
As if this isn’t something, anything, anyway, after all

[Chorus:]
I broke my neck trying to get to heaven
I lost my voice trying to talk to god
I lost my mind trying to find redemption
Because this never was anything, anyway, after all

[Verse 2:]
Your pain was not something I was ready to find out
Cuz my heart was a balloon that didn’t want to be tied down
Ooh
Yeah, I know what it feels like to walk on a line
You spend your laughing moments wondering why you don’t wanna cry, now
Ooh
I know my seat in heaven was bought by generous donors
So I guess I’ll take that highway out to Jesus, Arizona
Ooh
Yeah this note is such a failure, yeah, that line was a flub
But this road is like my ribcage and I’m fixing it up, now
Ooh

[Pre-Chorus:]
In the swirling cloud confusion of a high school kid
I know this world was our illusion, but that light don’t win
You can lie and I will try to pick a side that ain’t my own
As if this isn’t something, anything, anyway, after all

[Chorus:]
I broke my neck trying to get to heaven
I lost my voice trying to talk to god
I lost my mind trying to find redemption
Because this never was anything, anyway, after all

[Instrumental Outro]
