After the lights have all turned on After everyone has gone It's too late, late to call home The charge is dying on my phone After I put down my guitars And they're closing out the bar And the last words on the set And I'm all alone in bed With a ringing in my ears The flirting of my fears And I can barely stand hung-over from the adrenaline
After the morning after After the dying laughter I'm left with what really matters And my confidence is shattered After the moment passes Lipstick on empty glasses Wonder if this really matters And my confidence is shattered And I'm trying to get to bed to do it all over again
Yeah, yeah, all over again, yeah, yeah
After the last drink has been served After the last sound has been heard The band is standing on the curb And I've heard more praise than I deserve Its time, the loading of the van And all the small talk I can stand After all the high fives For the music keeping us alive Still this ringing in my ears, passing days like years And I can barely stand, hung-over from the adrenaline
After the morning after After the dying laughter I'm left with what really matters And my confidence is shattered After the moment passes Lipstick on empty glasses Wonder if this really matters And my confidence is shattered And I'm trying to get to bed to do it all over again
If you could only see How much there is to me That's hidden underneath this love I'm dying to keep My voice and satellite screaming through the night That's ringing in your ears, that's soaking up your tears And I'm trying to get to bed to do it all over again
After the morning after After the dying laughter I'm left with what really matters And my confidence is shattered After the moment passes Lipstick on empty glasses Wonder if this really matters And my confidence is shattered And I'm trying to get to bed to do it all over again
