We Die Lyrics - Kate Tempest

Across the street 

Above the green and the flat with the colourful curtains 

Alisha's wrapped in her blankets 

Head lent back on the wall 

She's gripping her knees 

Looking for purpose, shaking and nervous 

She keeps her brave face on all day long 

But now, the brave face is gone 

Something in the changing seasons prickles in her skin all day 

Sucked her back through time and left her feeling far away 

He was in her dream 

She hasn't dreamt of him for months 

She's so tired when she sleeps, she doesn't really dream at all, but there he was 

Holding his belly, blood on his shirt, she heard him scream her name 

And then she saw him fall 

Alisha wipes her face and whispers to herself 

"It was just a dream" 

She sniffs, and nods, and dries her eyes 

She checks the time 

It's 4: 18

It's a strange thing your face seems to fake, but the changing seasons 

Then for some reason it comes back more present than ever 

Well, not your face really, more a sense of you 

Even though I know it's happened, it's no more comprehensible than 

If it was an abstract thing, someone else's friend, then you 

Asking me for something, is there something I should do? 

It's hard on your mother, she lost your little brother too 

But your sister's doing good, man, she's smart, smart like you 

And she'll finish her degree next year, try and find a job 

I suppose she's got her head screwed on right, you don't have to worry 

Is there something else, though? 

I mean, if there is, I'm sorry 

'Cause I can't really think what you might want from me 

I heard your voice aloud, it woke me up 

I don't believe in ghosts 

Work's fine, life's good, Ty's nearly 4 now 

Smart enough to walk 'round and hear what I don't say 

The night it happened is vivid in my brain, it won't fade 

Life is long, still, some things don't change 

Nice to fall in love again 

But that ain't gonna happen soon 

I'm tryna get some money saved, fix up the living room 

Nearly got in trouble, I got angry with my manager 

There's this young girl who works with us 

She tried to put his hands on her 

It's such a waste, so many idiots alive and kickin' 

Why'd I have to be the only sane man in town 

Well, I'm probably only saying that 'cause you're not around 

But I'm keeping my chin up though, I don't let it get me down 

I heard your voice aloud, it woke me up 

I don't believe in ghosts 

You're with me all the time 

I think I know you better than I did when we were hanging out together 

What's it like, where you've gone? 

Well, I can feel it, it's ok, I know you can't say 

But you've been with me all day, I have to tell you 

When it happened, I couldn't cry for ages 

But when it hit me, I fucking screamed like a lion in a cage 

And, look, I fasted, I didn't eat a thing for, like, a week 

And I just walked across the heath in the rain 

Spittin' bars to the grass, and listening to the cars skidding past 

I thought life would get more real or something more fast 

But it didn't 

When I look at your son, though 

Life's hidden meanings come to the front of my vision 

And it's weird, the way I see it right now, it's so strong 

I'd never be the person I'd become if you would never gone 

Everything's connected, right? Everything's connected 

And even if I can't read it, right? Everything's a message 

We die so the others can be born 

We age so the others can be young 

The point of life is live, love 

If you can, then pass it on, right? 

We die so the others can be born 

We age so the others can be young 

The point of life is live, love 

If you can, then pass it on
