"After We're Gone" lyrics

"After We're Gone"

When I go out places, I see you in the crowd
I spent so long with you, I can't bear to be without
I'm jealous of the angels, you walk amongst them now
You told me, "Don't stop living," but I just don't know how

Tonight I went to heaven and I got to talk to God
He said, "Ask me any question," I said, "How much time you got?
Do we live forever? Does it ever really stop?
Do we party with the people that we lost?"

I wanna know, does the beat go on
After we're gone, long after we're gone?
I wanna know, does the beat go on
After we're gone, long after we're gone?
Are we poppin' bottles in the sky
Underneath the lights
Somewhere where the music never dies?
I wanna know, does the beat go on
After we're gone, after we're gone
After we're gone?

Searchin' round for feelin', but all I feel is numb
The high I'm on ain't working, 'cause you're the only one
Midnight feels so lonely, sunrise is empty too
Yeah, I'm amongst the living but I'm dyin' to be with you

Tonight I went to heaven and I got to talk to God
He said, "Ask me any question," I said, "How much time you got?
Do we live forever? Does it ever really stop?
Do we party with the people that we lost?"

I wanna know, does the beat go on
After we're gone, long after we're gone?
I wanna know, does the beat go on
After we're gone, long after we're gone?
Are we poppin' bottles in the sky
Underneath the lights
Somewhere where the music never dies?
I wanna know, does the beat go on
After we're gone, after we're gone?

I wanna know, does the beat go on
After we're gone, long after we're gone?
I wanna know, does the beat go on
After we're gone, long after we're gone?
Are we poppin' bottles in the sky
Underneath the lights
Somewhere where the music never dies?
I wanna know, does the beat go on
After we're gone, after we're gone
After we're gone?

I wanna know, does the beat go on
After we're
Death leaves a hole no one's ever gonna fill
Love leaves a memory nobody can steal
One of these days, between the Heavens and the Moon
I swear to God, I will see you soon
