After All

It was a Friday
You were a bit late
We lived on a loose change
And I was afraid
We hit the freeway
And you looked my way
It was a Friday
And for once I felt fine
But even bonfires slowly die
And so does everyone who makes you feel alive
It's haunting and yet we try
To make every moment into a mile

So I'll just wash my hair
And put on my clothes
We'll see how the story unfolds
You'll be high above me
And I'll be scared of what I don't know
That's just how it goes
When you're young

Think it was last week
Yelling at me
About something
I kept replacing
I got out my keys
We hit the city
Think it was last week
When everything felt fine
But even bonfires slowly die
And so does everyone who makes you feel alive
It's haunting and yet we try
To make every moment into a mile

So I'll just wash my hair
And put on my clothes
We'll see how the story unfolds
You'll be high above me
And I'll be scared of what I don't know
That's just how it goes
When you're young

So maybe you can love me
As much as I love myself
It's an issue
I think that I miss you a little too much
Your smile is a 50 cal round
Right through my brain
It's hard to explain
But I think that it's heaven
When you're sitting on my floor
So what if this was a movie
And the credits roll
And we're just lonely
Behind the black screen
I'd wanna kiss you
Do you wanna kiss me

I can wait for another magic moment
But I don't think that I can hold it in
You're the one with your hand out my window
You're the one under my skin
You're a lightning bolt across my sky
You're the colors in the flag on my wall
You're a diamond in my rough
You are my after all
