After All

After all
Are we not singing the same old songs
Telling the same stories as the past
And after all
Are we more than our parents
Just trying hard to make something that last

We've got tales of heartache
Heartbreak
Volcanoes and earthquakes
Stubbornness and brokenness
Soft hearts and bitterness

After all
Are we wearing new holes
Into our parents shoes
Taking no chances or risks
'Cause we're too afraid to lose?

And after all
Do we ever start anew
Or are we simply trading places
Just to change the morning view

We're telling tales of heartache
Heartbreaks
Storm clouds and aeroplanes
Wretchedness and brokenness
A hope anew inside our veins

The story was and it is to be
Not written in stone, yet fully meant to be
A thousand voices calling out
Each one seems so soft, yet loud
And if we find ourselves alone
We know that soon we will be coming home

Singing songs of heartache
Heartbreaks
Long goodbyes and mistakes
Shattered dreams and flowing streams
Another song with instrumental breaks

We're singing songs of heartache
Heartbreaks
Copycats and remakes
Shattered dreams and guitar strings
Beating hearts and flapping wings
In the courts of kings and queens
From the edge of something great
