Afterlife Lyrics by Switchfoot

Vice Verses

2011

[Verse 1]
I’ve tasted fire I’m ready to come alive
I can’t just shut it up and fake that I’m alright
I’m ready now
I’m not waiting for the afterlife
Let it burn the way the sunlight burns my skin
The way I feel inside, the way the day begins
I’m ready now
I’m not waiting for the other side
I’m ready now
I’m ready now

[Chorus]
'Cause everyday
The world is made
A chance to change
But I feel the same
And I wonder why
Would I wait till I die
To come alive?
I’m ready now
I’m not waiting for the afterlife

[Verse 2]
I still believe we could live forever
You and I we begin forever now
Forever now
Forever
I still believe in us together
You and I we’re here together now
Forever now
Forever now
Or never now

[Chorus]
'Cause everyday
The world is made
A chance to change
But I feel the same
And I wonder why
Would I wait till I die
To come alive?
I’m ready now
I’m not waiting for the afterlife

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
Everyday
A choice is made
Everyday
I choose my fate
And I wonder why
Would I wait till I die
To come alive?
To come alive?
Everyday, everyday, everyday
I still feel the same
And I wonder why
Would I wait till I die
To come alive?
To come alive?
I’m ready now
I’m not waiting for the afterlife

[Outro]
I’m ready now
I’m ready now
I’m ready now
I’m ready now
I’m ready now
I’m not waiting for the afterlife
Yeah, yeah, yeah
