After a While (Live)

With no one on my team
Your heartbeat came knocking
And knocked me off my feet
Your pennies took by thieves
Your running jeans ain't stopping, understandably

And you once told me I'd regret
It hasn't happened to me yet
So maybe I'm immune to your hundred yards of sad
Maybe I'm immune to that disease you thought you had

But you never learned how to speak to, to me
And after a while
A smile is not a smile
'Cause kisses turn to tears

Ooh oo-ooh
Ahh ah-ahh
Ooh oo-ooh
Ahh ah-ahh

And when you bought your past
You bought many, too heavy
And lumbered to defeat
And when you paint you scrawl
And when you speak you drawl
Ill at ease to understand it all

And you once told me I'd lament
We drew partitions in cement
Well I guess I took it hard
But I said I'd persevere
I guess you heard me say that
And I guess it hurt to hear

But you never learned how to speak to, to me
And after a while
A smile is not a smile
'Cause kisses turn to tears

Ooh oo-ooh
Ahh ah-ahh
Ooh oo-ooh
Ahh ah-ahh

After a while
A smile is not a smile
'Cause kisses turn to tears
