Prenova - What Comes Now? Lyrics

It was late 98, a Sunday drive ended in New York State
I got lost and left it all behind, looking for a life I didn't find
Thought I'd be a great man, center stage and hot fans
But I blew too many lines to make a real play
And if I ever had a shot I'd drank that shot away
Now I'm staring out a window, reflecting on the past
Wondering how it went by so fast
Never thought I'd live past 29
What am I to do with all this time?
What comes now, what's next for me?
Forever's so much longer than it ever used to be
A reflection in a window, postcard from the past
You're laughing with your head thrown back on a summer night we thought would last
We're in California, on a beach in Santa Cruz
You were dressed for New York City, I played my songs for you
Then we crashed this wedding, fireworks all night
Made like it was all for us, drank their booze till morning light
I burned for you, you ached for me
But time heals all wounds, even a love that's meant to be
I promised you forever, you swore the same to me
But forever's so much longer than it ever used to be
What comes now, what's next for me?
Forever's so much longer than it ever used to be
What comes now, what's comes next?
We thought we owned the world but now it's breathing down our necks
It's just like that song, life keeps dragging on long after all the thrill is gone
And then you find you didn't die, you beat the odds and lived past 35
But there's a catch you have to live with all the things you did
And all the things you wish you did
This is life
Yeah this is life
