Lyrics In Another Life - Crown The Empire, Courtney LaPlante

In Another Life

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
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
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
Looming over me
Your shadow
Hides behind every face 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
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
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
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
Dead to me
Tear down the pieces of what remains
You’ll never go away
When the walls are caving
I’ll bury your name
And erase all my memories
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
