AFTERIMAGE

Intro

Verse 1 Your side of the bed is empty Your glass is gone from the sink I changed the picture in the hallway So I'd have less to think But sunlight hits the kitchen window At exactly half past five And for half a second there you are Like you never said goodbye I close my eyes You're brighter there Funny what disappears And what stays everywhere

Hook Afterimage After you Close my eyes And I still see you Afterimage Burned into blue Everything fades Except the shape of you Afterimage Don't know what to do The light is gone But I'm still seeing you

Verse 2 I took the long way home on Thursday Passed the place we used to eat Saw a woman through the windshield Same coat, same way she'd lean My hands forgot what year it was My heart forgot you left By the time the light turned green again She was somebody else They say memory gets quieter That isn't what mine does It loses all the little things And keeps exactly what it wants Afterimage After you Close my eyes And I still see you Afterimage Black into blue The whole world moved But some part never knew Afterimage Fading slow Maybe letting go ain't darkness Maybe it's learning not to look
