After All

Play until my fingers bleed
Whenever your soul's in need of a tune
Oh, that I'd do

And if you wish upon a star
I'd listen close just to make sure
Whatever you want comes true

And after all that we've been through
It'd be a shame for time to ruin
I wish that you could take my songs with you

Just in case you're up at night
They would keep your spirits light
Remind you of everything I do

But by the time you're back to me
We've missed some moments but we'll see
There's plenty more of those for you and me

Of course I'll keep you up all night
I wouldn't let you out of sight
At least not for a day or two or three

Well she's shameless
Denying the love and the days spent
Caught in the dream of today's trend
And still she'll be fine after all

Yeah, she's ageless
Defying the wind and the rain and
Takin' pride in the days that I'll waste in
Before she succumbs to it all

And she's holding
Onto the wisps of this whole thing
Scared that she'll miss just one moment
'Cause time will not leave her alone

I want to make her music mine
But still can't seem to find the time
I sometimes wonder what the hell I do

If strung along to keep the tune
There isn't much a song can do
Especially when you do not know the lines

If you or she or them or he
Or anybody in between
Had any more to say that hadn't been sung

Then take it up and run all night
And make sure you get out of sight
Before the reckoning brings you to your knees

Well I'm shameless
Denying the love and the days spent
Caught in the dream of old days when
Everything's simpler than now

Yeah I'm ageless
Defying the wind and the rain and
Takin' pride in the days that I'll waste in
Before I succumb to it all

Now I'm holding
Onto the wisps of this whole thing
Prayin' not to miss any moments
'Cause I'll always be there
I said I'll always be there
Yeah, I'll always be there
You know I'll always be there after all
