Daughtry: Life After You

Okay, this is my favorite song on the record....

Well, this week anyway.

For me, it evokes an early-U2 vibe, which makes me happy. I love the lyrics (see below the video) and the positiveness of the song. Many of the tracks on the record are "she hurt me, we're through" kinds of songs, and Chris, dude, you're happily married. Where is this coming from? lol

The chorus is downright inspiring

All that I'm after is a life full of laughter
As long as I'm laughing with you
I'm thinking that all that still matters is love ever after
After the life we've been through
I know there's no life after you

Chris, that's all we're all after. A lifetime of laughter with some we love with all our hearts. You captured that wonderfully with a fantastic guitar riff and words from the heart.

The Official Video. *sigh*

The Lyrics:

Ten miles from town, and I just broke down
Spitting out smoke on the side of the road
I'm out here alone, just trying to get home
To tell you I was wrong, but you already know
Believe me, I won't stop at nothing
To see you, so I've started running

All that I'm after is a life full of laughter
As long as I'm laughing with you
I'm thinking that all that still matters is love ever after
After the life we've been through
'Cause I know there's no life after you

Last time we talked, the night that I walked
Burns like an iron in the back of my mind
I must have been high to say you and I
Weren't meant to be and just wasting time
Oh, why did I ever doubt you
You know I would die here without you

All that I'm after is a life full of laughter
As long as I'm laughing with you
I'm thinking that all that still matters is love ever after
After the life we've been through
'Cause I know there's no life after you

You and I, right or wrong, there's no one
After this time I spent alone
It's hard to believe that a man with sight could be so blind
Thinking about the better times
Must've been out of my mind
So I'm runnning back to tell you

All that I'm after is a life full of laughter
Without you, God knows what I'd do

All that I'm after is a life full of laughter
As long as I'm laughing with you
I'm thinking that all that still matters is love ever after
After the life we've been through
I know there's no life after you...
