In Another Life Lyrics

[Verse 1: Hayden Tree]
I close my eyes, but I still see
I'm hollow, a phantom, floating in between
Until I fall asleep
I'm fabricating my lucid dream
I feel your presence, but you're out of reach

[Pre-Chorus: Andy Leo & Hayden Tree]
Your silhouette's all around, it lives inside my head
Am I awake or is this a dream?
The lights flicker in the hall, and then you're gone again
Nothing was ever the same

[Chorus: Andy Leo]
And in another life
I would've built up my walls around you, lived to hold you, yeah
And in another life I could've carried us home
To be what we wanted to

[Verse 2: Hayden Tree]
Looming over me
Your shadow hidеs behind every facе I see
And I can't tell what is make believe
I've tried pretending you're what I need
This house is haunted, but it's part of me
[Pre-Chorus: Andy Leo & Hayden Tree]
Your silhouette's all around, it lives inside my head
Am I awake or is this a dream?
The lights flicker in the hall, and then you're gone again
Nothing was ever the same

[Chorus: Andy Leo]
And in another life
I would've built up my walls around you, lived to hold you, yeah
And in another life I could've carried us home
To be what we wanted to

[Post-Chorus: Courtney LaPlante]
All I can see, all I have known are memories
Can feel the hole in my heart
Still chasing ghosts in the dark
All I can say, all I have known just fades away
Wish I could be where you are
Never thought I'd end up so far

[Bridge: Courtney LaPlante & Andy Leo]
Dead to me
Tear down the pieces of what remains
You'll never go away
When the walls are caving (When the walls are caving)
I'll bury your name (Bury your name, bury your name)
And erase all my memories
[Outro: Courtney LaPlante, with Andy Leo & Hayden Tree]
Your silhouette's not around, it lived inside my head
The lights flicker in the hall, but they won't shine again
Dead to me

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
