After All

Hopelessly awaiting on myself
I hold the key to answers that I want
And I came all this way, why would I turn back now?
I've come to see the weakness of my heart

I'm carrying the weight upon my back
And I'll no longer follow in those steps
I've been hit, I've been sworn
I've been chasing something more
I've grown kinda worried about this

I guess I'm moving forward
Down the coast of California
Where the folks like the waters not that cold
I guess there's nothing for us
Since this world keeps moving forward
And everyone's a little more like you

When all that I've been through
And it holds as it holds you, I've been there
When all that I've been through
When you come to know the weakness of your heart

I knew a thing or two about myself
Left me with nothing to do, no place to run
And everything that happened, how could it be undone?
Trying hard just to escape what I've become

Think of me when daylight turns to black
Another time, another's turning back
I've been gentle, I've been forceful
I've been holding something more
So I've been fearful of just what I've become

I guess I'm moving forward
Down the coast of California
Where the folks like the waters not that cold
I guess there's nothing for us
Since this world keeps moving forward
Where everyone's a little lost like you

When all that I've been through
And it holds as it holds you, I've been there
When all that I've been through
I've come to know the secrets of the heart
And I've come to know the secrets of the heart

I guess I'm moving forward
Down the coast of California
Where the folks like the waters not too cold
I guess there's nothing for us
Unless this world keeps moving forward
And everyone's a little more like you

After all that I've been through
And it holds as it holds you, I've been there
When all that I've been through
When you come to know the secret of your heart
