about

When a major event or loss rearranges your life's timeline into "before" and "after" that moment, how do you deal with being thrown into a new chapter of your life? This song explores that theme and how it feels for Kit.

lyrics

[Verse 1]
Afternoon monsoon, out there huddled together
Pigtails on piggyback under an umbrella
Like a page from my book, but it's not you and not me
I sip my hot coffee made just like you taught me

[Pre-Chorus]
No one else can get through this for me
No one else can live out my story
No one else can write meaning in this allegory
But now I've lost the whole plot line
Life's torn into "after" and "before" time
Now I've crossed that line, I'm not fine
And I'm on my own

[Chorus]
Alone in the After
Alone in the After
Oh, how I wish I could go back a chapter
Make this part go faster
But no, time still flows
While I'm frozen, alone in the After
(Alone in the After)

[Verse 2]
Midnight moonlight, way before my alarm rings
My love holds me tight as my mind just replays scenes
Like I scan the same lines over and over with my eyes
I agonize, cry, and I think of Sunrise

[Pre-Chorus]
No one else can get through this for me
No one else can live out my story
No one else can write meaning in this allegory
But now I've lost the whole plot line
Life's torn into "after" and "before" time
Now I've crossed that line, I'm not fine
And I'm on my own

[Chorus]
Alone in the After
Alone in the After
Oh, how I wish I could go back a chapter
Make this part go faster
But no, time still flows
While I'm frozen, alone in the After
(Alone in the After)

[Bridge]
If only I could ask for your guidance (Guidance)
But all I'm left with is silence

[Chorus]
Alone in the After
Alone in the After
Oh, how I wish I could go back a chapter
Make this part go faster
But no, time still flows
While I'm frozen, alone in the After
(Alone in the After)
