Like  walking into a dream, so unlike what you've  seen
So  unsure but it seems, ’cause we’ve been waiting  for you
Fallen  into this place, just giving you a small taste
 Of your afterlife  here so stay, you'll be back here soon anyway
I  see a distant light, but  girl this can't be right
Such  a surreal place to see  so how did this come  to be
 Arrived  too early
And  when I think of all the places  I just don't belong
I've  come to grips with life and realize  this is going  too far
I  don't belong  here, we gotta move on  dear
 Escape  from this afterlife
’Cause  this time  I'm right to move on  and on
Far  away from here
A  place of hope and no pain, perfect skies with no rain
Can  leave this place but refrain, ’cause we've been waiting  for you
Fallen  into this place, just giving you a small taste
Of  your afterlife here so stay, you'll be back here soon anyway
This  peace on earth's not right  (with my back against the wall)
No  pain or sign of time  (I’m much too young to fall)
So  out of place don't wanna stay,  I feel wrong and that's  my sign
 I've made  up my mind
Give  me your hand but realize I  just wanna say goodbye
Please  understand I have to leave  and carry on  my own life
I  don't belong  here, I gotta move on  dear
 escape  from this afterlife
 ’Cause this time  I'm right to move on  and on,
far  away from here
Got  nothing against  you and surely I'll miss  you
 This place  full of peace  and light, and I’d hope  you might
 Take me back  inside when  the time is right
 Loved  ones back home  all crying 'cause they're already  missing me
 I pray  by the grace  of God that there's somebody listening
 Give  me a chance to  be that person I wanna be
 (I am unbroken, I'm choking on this ecstasy)
 Oh  Lord I'll try so  hard but you gotta let go  of me
 (Unbreak me, unchain me, I need another chance to live)
  ( )
 
I  don't belong  here, I gotta move on  dear
 escape  from this afterlife
 ’Cause this time  I'm right to move on  and on,
far  away from here
Got  nothing against  you and surely I'll miss  you
 This place  full of peace  and light, and I’d hope  you might
 Take me back  inside when  the time is right
