Afterglow

Today I'll change the way I wear my hair
I'll make it nice and neat
The clipper man says he'll take care of me
I'll buy a brand new button up in blue
I'll make sure that my voice is nice and steady
When I say to you

I wanna take you to a place
Where you and I are face to face and we're just
Talking 'bout all of the ways
That we could spend our day
Wanna wrap you up in calico
Tell your friends about me
They already know
One day when we've grown
I'll remember you in the afterglow

I think it's lovely just how cynical you are
How you don't believe in little change
Or fortune in the stars
And it's true that people come and go
And fate's not always right
But we've both been through enough
To let ourselves have just tonight

I wanna take you to a place
Where you and I are face to face and we're just
Talking 'bout all of the ways
That we could spend our day
Wanna wrap you up in calico
Tell your friends about me
They already know
One day when we've grown
I'll remember you in the afterglow

And I've been trying hard
To show you what the two of us could be
When we're standing in my mirror
Do you see yourself in me
I don't mean to make you think
That everything is meant to be
I just think that you deserve the good things
I hope that it's not childish to confess
That I still fall in love when you're not looking
I'm just glad I found you and you let me

I wanna take you to a place
Where you and I are face to face
And we're just
Talking 'bout all of the ways
That we could spend our day
Wanna wrap you up in calico
Tell your friends about me
They already know
Do you wanna go, do you wanna go
Just let me know

And you smile when I'm awake
And you and I are face to face and we're just
Laughing 'bout all of the ways
That we could spend our day
And you're all dressed up in calico
And I say the words
But you already know
One day when we've grown
They'll remember us in the afterglow
