Afterglow

Telling ourselves we'll be all right
Waiting on things that pass us by
Telling ourselves there'll be no lies
Can you see my secrets in my eyes?

I know you can't complete me
I've got to be whole
But I'll sit here counting pieces
In the faintest afterglow

I know what you talk about, I
I know what you talk about, I
I know what you talk about
I know what you talk about

And you're crying at things that make no sense and
Seeing the world in future tense, I
I know what you talk about, I

On and on and on the fence again
Gone and gone and gone and where you been
I've been trying to let you, let you know
I've been basking in your afterglow

Telling ourselves there'll be no pain
Can you seen the flow through my veins?
Trying to keep our stories straight
Baby, can you lift my sorry state?

I know you can't be with me
Just lie next to me
I don't care about the tricks that
You can pull out of your sleeves

I know what you talk about, I
I know what you talk about, I
I know what you talk about
I know what you talk about

And you're crying at things that make no sense and
Seeing the world in future tense, I
I know what you talk about, I

On and on and on the fence again
Gone and gone and gone and where you been
I've been trying to let you, let you know
I've been basking in your afterglow

Living past in the present
What doesn't kill you fulfills you
And it thrills you, all this drama
The trauma that you hold onto
You're running on steam
And breaking apart at the seams
Just holding onto this dream
Is all we ever would need
If I could keep you forever
To which I endeavor, together
And never be severed
If only I could be so clever
However, I revel
I'm staying high up on this level
Daredevil
And I ain't coming down ever

I know what you talk about, I
I know what you talk about, I
I know what you talk about
I know what you talk about

And you're crying at things that make no sense and
Seeing the world in future tense, I
I know what you talk about, I

On and on and on the fence again
Gone and gone and gone and where you been
I've been trying to let you, let you know
I've been basking in your afterglow
