After All

So when you’ve finally gotten all you wanted
After all, after all those nights of dream that passed you by
And you ask yourself if it’s real
When you touch the walls that bind you
Bind your mind inside

And then you turn around
See the dream it’s coming out at you as real
It’s touching you in the eyes
It’s not the same
Not for me, not for the guy who’s been there before

Askin’ more
It’s not enough, finding no one’s there to hold you
Askin’ more
It’s not enough, finding no one’s there to hold you

And the circle that collects you in its’ arms
Touches time
Touches all those things you said you had to do
On your own
All alone
And no one’s there for answers, if it’s real
Is this the way it’s supposed to be my friend

And then you turn around
Reaching out sayin’ this is what I got
This is what I give
Take it or leave it
I need it when I couldn’t ask you

And when the questions been left deep inside
And when the questions been left deep inside
And when the questions been left deep inside

I’m askin’ now not for the stories of the pain and
Loss and crime and sorrow
No tomorrow
After all’s been said and done my friend
It’s the end
After all
When I needed someone there I said
After all’s been said and done my friend
