After All

I’ve been 'round for altogether one too many years
and I’ve found nowhere to belong
I’ve allowed so many good things to pass me by
I’m renowned for making things go wrong
but still I carry on

Because after all
I still believe in something, I feel it more than ever now
I know my time is coming, I’m just not sure where or when or how
Can’t stop the world from turning no matter how hard you may try
I’m smart but I’m still learning, learning to leave it all behind
I’m learning to leave it all behind

I’ve been down for so long now that I can’t recall why
I’ve been down as low as you can get
All around there’s misery and pain and heartache
It’s a cloud and it’s headed this way you can bet
But I won’t surrender yet
