Never Going Back To OK

The Afters Never Going Back To OK Lyrics
1.Never Going Back To OK

Lyricist:Matt Fuqua, Joshua Havens, Daniel John Muckala, Brad Wiggers

It's not the end but it feels like it is
I'm waking up like I'm back from the dead
I'm stepping out and it feels so free
But as long as I'm moving it's alright

I feel alive and it hurts for a change
I'm looking back it's hard to believe
That I was cool with the days that I wasted
Complacent and tasteless and bored
But that was yesterday

We're never going back to ok
We're never going back to easy
We're never going back to the way it was
We're never going back to ok

This discontent, like a slap in the face
A mediocre I've had enough of this place
This party's over and I'm moving away
From the frills of your Beverly Hills
That was yesterday

We're never going back to ok
We're never going back to easy
We're never going back to the way it was
We're never going back to ok

We're here to stay
This is our time
My only life
Our chance to live

Yeah, we're never going back to ok
We're never going back to easy
We're never going back to the way it was
We're never going back to ok

We're never going back to ok
We're never going back to the way it was
We're never going back to ok
We're never going back to ok


2.The Secret Parade

Lyricist:Matt Fuqua, Josh Havens, Brad Wigg

Don't try to lose us 'cause it's right where you'll find us
Don't try to bruise us 'cause it's right where you bleed
Don't call me a stranger we're your brothers and sisters
Try to refuse us when it's just what you need

Here tomorrow, gone today
We're a part of the secret parade
Here tomorrow, gone today
We're a part of the secret parade


3.Keeping Me Alive

Lyricist:Matt Fuqua, Ben Glover, Joshua Havens, Brad Wiggers

It's like I've never lived
Before my life with you
So much was missing here
I never even knew
I still picture the place we were
When I fell into your world

My heart is in you
Where you go you carry me
I bleed, if you bleed
Your heart beats inside of me
You're keeping me alive

I don't know why I feel this way
But something's right
You're like the morning air
Before the light arrives
No more lonely and no more night
No more secrets to hide

My heart is in you
Where you go you carry me
I bleed, if you bleed
Your heart beats inside of me
You're keeping me alive

I'll hold you near
Together, we'll never die
Your love is keeping me alive
Your love is keeping me alive, alive

My heart is in you
Where you go you carry me
I bleed, if you bleed
Your heart beats inside of me
You're keeping me alive
Keeping me alive


4.Tonight

Lyricist:Matt Fuqua, Joshua Havens, Daniel Muckala, Brad Wigg

Time after time I'm reminded that I fall apart
When I run away from you
Even when every mistake
Leaves me broken and bruised
I can hold onto you

Tonight, tonight we're gonna put it all, put it all behind
Tonight, tonight we're gonna make it all, make it alright
We'll be who we want to be tonight, tonight

Why do I feel like a space
That just waits to be filled
Looking for something new
When ours is a love that is already perfect
And I, I know I belong to you

Tonight, tonight we're gonna put it all, put it all behind
Tonight, tonight we're gonna make it all, make it alright
We'll be who we want to be tonight

When tomorrow comes we're gonna feel alive
Somehow forget about the tears we cried
There's so much more we have to gain
Than we could ever lose

Tonight, tonight we're gonna put it all, put it all behind
Tonight, tonight we're gonna make it all, make it alright

Tonight, tonight we're gonna put it all, put it all behind
Tonight, tonight we're gonna make it all, make it alright
We'll be who we want to be, we'll be who we're meant to be
Tonight, tonight, when tomorrow comes we're gonna feel alive


5.Ocean Wide

Lyricist:Mark Dodd, Matt Fuqua, Joshua Havens, Brandon Heath Knell,
Daniel Muckala, Brad Wigg

Look outside, it's already light and the stars
Ran away with the night
Things we're said, words that we'll try forget
It's so hard to admit

I know we've made mistakes
I see through all the tears
And that's what got us here

If love is an ocean wide
We'll swim in the tears we cry
They'll see us through to the other side
We're gonna make it

When love is the raging sea
You can hold on to me
We'll find a way tonight
Love is an ocean wide

I'll stay right here, it's where I'll always belong
Tied with your arms
Days like this I wish the sun wouldn't set
I don't wanna forget

What made us feel this way
You see through all my fears
And that's what got us here

If love is an ocean wide
We'll swim in the tears we cry
They'll see us through to the other side
We're gonna make it

When love is the raging sea
You can hold on to me
We'll find a way tonight
Love is an ocean wide

Enough to forget
Even when we think we can't
Think we can't

Love is an ocean wide
We'll swim in the tears we cry
They'll see us through to the other side
We're gonna make it

When love is the raging sea
You can hold on to me
We'll find a way tonight
We'll find a way tonight
Love is an ocean wide
Love is an ocean wide


6.Myspace Girl

Lyricist:Nate Campany, Matt Fuqua, Joshua Havens

I saw you once it was enough
You asked me what I wanted, I want you
But I replied, 'I'll have some fries'
So mesmerized, my heart was over driving through

I saw your name and unashamed
I searched within 500 miles to find
Any clue just as to who I've fallen for
'Cause you've got me and I've got time

I saw your picture on MySpace
Maybe someday we can turn it into our space, baby
I don't care how long it takes
I'm saving space in my top 8 for you

The second time you were so nice
I loved the way you told me to enjoy my day
But I know what you meant to say instead
Was really that you wanted us to run away

I said, 'Let's go, I'll pack my clothes
Just promise me you'll wear that purple dress you have
You look so cute when you're confused'
You backed away and asked me how I knew about that

I saw your picture on MySpace
Maybe someday we can turn it into our space, baby
I don't care how long it takes
I'm saving space in my top 8 for you

I know you're scared
I know our love is crazy
And I'm so crazy
You make me crazy for you

I saw your picture on MySpace
Maybe someday we can turn it into our space, baby
I don't care how long it takes
I'm saving space in my top 8 for you

I saw your picture on MySpace
Maybe someday we can turn it into our space, baby
I don't care how long it takes
I'm saving space in my top 8 for you


7.We Are The Sound

Lyricist:Nate Campany, Matt Fuqua, Joshua Havens

We are the sound
We are the sound

Now is the time we have
Take it, never give it back
Say what you mean to say
This could be your only chance

Everybody's watching out
For someone who can show them how
To be what you wanna be
And stand never backing down

Here we are
Here we are

We are the sound
We are the siren
We're all around
And we won't stop singing it out

Shout it out like you believe it
We'll break it down
When we all start singing it out
Shout it out now

Silence is an enemy
That keeps us from the things we need
It ages but it never grows
So quiet that we start to bleed

Let's shake it off and let it go
Forgetting what we think we know
We'll make it all a memory
We're taking back control

Here we are
Here we are

We are the sound
We are the siren
We're all around
And we won't stop singing it out

Shout it out like you believe it
We'll break it down
When we all start singing it out
Shout it out now, shout it out now

We are the sound
We are the sound
We are the sound
We are the sound

We are the sound
We are the siren
We're all around
And we won't stop singing it out

Shout it out like you believe it
We'll break it down
When we all start singing it out
Shout it out now, shout it out now

We are the sound
We are the sound
We are the sound
We are the sound


8.Falling Into Place

Lyricist:Jess Cates, Daniel Muckala, Lindy Robbins

It was raining on the sun
The ground beneath my feet was crumbling
Day and night had come undone
It was the season of my wandering

Somehow, somewhere you found me there
The moment that it all became clear

I was on the edge of a distant world
A shattered life with no where left to turn till I saw you there
And everything I thought had gone to waste
Was falling into place, falling into place

It's finally quiet in my head
As I lay the pieces at your feet
It's finally starting to make sense
I guess I found the missing part of me

I was on the edge of a distant world
A shattered life with no where left to turn till I saw you there
And everything I thought had gone to waste
Was falling into place, falling into place, falling into

Oceans that I almost drowned in
I had to lose it all just so I could find out
You were there to break my fall
In the season of my wandering

I was on the edge of a distant world
A shattered life with no where left to turn till I saw you there
And everything I thought had gone to waste
Was falling, falling

I was on the edge of a distant world
A shattered life with no where left to turn till I saw you there
And everything I thought had gone to waste
Was falling into place


9.Beautiful Words

Lyricist:Nate Campany, Matt Fuqua, Joshua Havens, Dan Muckala, Brad
Wiggers

Slow down, this is such a blur
Tell me what's the hurry now
Have we been running round in circles
Missing all that we could be?
You say it's not too late

We are words on pages that we've left unturned
An ending no one's ever heard
We are a story slowly unfolding
Beautiful words

I could walk across the ocean
With you walking next to me
And you could melt away this winter
Now we're starting over
We will see it's not too late

We are words on pages that we've left unturned
An ending no one's ever heard
We are a story slowly unfolding
Beautiful words

That last when everything else has passed
Even when all the stars are gone
I know every single beautiful word
That we were will live on

I know it's not too late

We are words on pages that we've left unturned
An ending no one's ever heard
We are a story slowly unfolding
Beautiful words
We are a story slowly unfolding


10.Forty-Two

Lyricist:Marc Dodd, Matthew Fugua, Joshua Havens, Brad Wigg

I came into this world to find a reason to live
I came with nothing to give
Nothing I could offer, nothing I could ever do

Before You set the stars up in the sky
You came and took me aside
You told me I was part of the plan
You told me I was Yours

Will You tell me what this life is all about?
Will You show me how to make my time here count?
Will You lead the way onto the other side
'Cause I want to feel alive, 'cause I want to feel alive?

If I could only see right to the end
I'd know just where to begin
I could put together all the little pieces
You carry the world, You hold it in your hands

It's all a part of your plan
Show me how to love
Won't You help me find my way to You?

Will You tell me what this life is all about?
Will You show me how to make my time here count?
Will You lead the way onto the other side
'Cause I want to feel alive, 'cause I want to feel alive?

There's a place for us
The perfect place for us
There's a place for us
The perfect place

Will You tell me what this life is all about?
Will You show me how to make my time here count?
Will You lead the way onto the other side
'Cause I want to feel alive, 'cause I want to feel alive?
Yeah, yeah


11.Summer Again

Lyricist:Nate Campany, Dan Muckala, Brad Wiggers

I'm watching the green give into gold
As summer becomes October's cold
Gravity begs for one final kiss
She drops it to him as she gives in

Traces of light linger around
As laces of white fall to the ground
The softest of sounds for the heaviest things
The pain that it brings

As she falls I try to catch her
For one last touch of warmth from summer
As one thing leaves to become another again
I remember when

Don't remember the day she started to fade
The ground felt a chill as she gave it away
A whisper, a sigh for the time that she passed
But the winter won't last

As she falls I try to catch her
For one last touch of warmth from summer
As one thing leaves to become another again
I remember when, oh, to be with summer again

The days were warm, we wore them like skin
Now I feel the effects of October again

As she falls I try to catch her
For one last touch of warmth from summer
As one thing leaves to become another again
I remember when, oh, to be with summer again
Oh, to be with summer again

I'm watching the green give in to gold
As summer becomes Octobers cold


12.One Moment Away

Lyricist:Mark Dodd, Matt Fuqua, Joshua Havens, Daniel Muckala, Brad
Wiggers

Wake up and smile, put on a tie
Walk to the car and wave goodbye
Radio on, you're singing along
It's all gonna change but how could you know

You're one moment away
One chance left to take and you're gone
Are they gonna remember you for running away
Or saving the day from the darkness
And letting your love shine through?
(What will you do?)
You're one moment away

Eyes are on you, the pressure is on
Where will you stand when the lines have been drawn?
The clocks have all stopped, your story's been told
This is your life so how will it show

You're one moment away
One chance left to take and you're gone
Are they gonna remember you for running away
Or saving the day from the darkness
And letting your love shine through?
(What will you do?)
You're one moment away

No, you can't pretend that forever
Will never come knocking at your door

Run through the flames, never look back
What did you think that you came here for?

You're one moment away
One chance left to take and you're gone
Are they gonna remember you for running away
Or saving the day from the darkness
And letting your love shine through?
(What will you do?)
You're one moment away

One moment away
One chance left to take and you're gone
Are they gonna remember you for running away
Or saving the day from the darkness
And letting your love shine through?
You're one moment away
