Afterglow

I had a feeling
You left me here, lying, dreaming
About who you've been when I'm not looking
And what that makes me

I made an excuse
I lied for you when I knew the truth
Like it didn't hurt me to see it
Just hold back and forget to feel it

Who does that make me?
Had me feeling like a hollow shell of a body
The one you meet when the day is done
No heart to hold and the course had been run

Meet me in the afterglow
Your strung-out heart and head held low
Won't you put down your guard for me?
I see your suffering

What does this make you?
A fool with a heart that I never knew
One foot halfway out the door
I wanted, I needed much more

Find me in the garden tonight
I'll read you pages of books I think you'd like
You're not the kind to open up, listen
I guess our time was out of season

Who's terms are we on?
Yours, God's, or the chosen one?
Beach waves and nectarines
This feels like my favorite movie scene

Once we get out on the floor
I'll turn around and lock the door
You'll whisper 'what comes next'
A stomach full of butterflies it's quite complex

What does this make you?
A fool with a heart that I never knew
One foot halfway out the door
I wanted, I needed much more
I wanted, I needed much more
