The Aftermath
You wore a Stetson, and I was 19
You were the colors that I'd never seen
You were whiskey, I was grenadine
Marlboro Reds mixed with teenage green
And like fireworks, we lit up the sky
But no one here talks about the fifth of July
Wish I'd known how this would shake out
You were a mustang that I couldn't break down
The TV don't show the mess love can make
One domino onto the next, until the levee breaks
Just like that, and you fall so fast
But you can't go back before the aftermath
Couple white pills and a glass of red wine
Only damn thing to wash you out my mind
Lost my virtue, and you kept your pride
The best and the worst thing that I've done with my time
Wish I'd known how this would shake out
You were a mustang that I couldn't break down
The TV don't show the mess love can make
One domino onto the next, until the levee breaks
Just like that, and you fall so fast
But you can't go back before the aftermath
They'll talk about champagne, the flowers in the chapel
Don't talk about the wreckage when everything unravels
Wish I'd known how this would shake out
You were a mustang that I couldn't break down
The TV don't show the mess love can make
One domino onto the next, until the levee breaks
Just like that, and you fall so fast
But you can't go back
Before the aftermath
You were the colors that I'd never seen
You were whiskey, I was grenadine
Marlboro Reds mixed with teenage green
And like fireworks, we lit up the sky
But no one here talks about the fifth of July
Wish I'd known how this would shake out
You were a mustang that I couldn't break down
The TV don't show the mess love can make
One domino onto the next, until the levee breaks
Just like that, and you fall so fast
But you can't go back before the aftermath
Couple white pills and a glass of red wine
Only damn thing to wash you out my mind
Lost my virtue, and you kept your pride
The best and the worst thing that I've done with my time
Wish I'd known how this would shake out
You were a mustang that I couldn't break down
The TV don't show the mess love can make
One domino onto the next, until the levee breaks
Just like that, and you fall so fast
But you can't go back before the aftermath
They'll talk about champagne, the flowers in the chapel
Don't talk about the wreckage when everything unravels
Wish I'd known how this would shake out
You were a mustang that I couldn't break down
The TV don't show the mess love can make
One domino onto the next, until the levee breaks
Just like that, and you fall so fast
But you can't go back
Before the aftermath
