After Lyrics

VERSE 1:

Have a hand on control, another reachin’ the unknown,
The space between: where I float.
Expectations, TV stations,
I am blind, you don’t see.

After the smoke clears you know I will still be here.
Once all the dust settles, I may be forever.

VERSE 2:

“Tell me what you’ve done to the man I loved.”
“Well, I killed him a year ago.”
Give me every letter that you never thought I’d read,
not ever:
“Sorry I made you love me.”

After the smoke clears you know I will still be here.
Once all the dust settles, I may be forever.

CHORUS 2:

I cannot stand to look back and ask, “What if this
happened like that?”
You say, “Don’t worry, you need not.”
I cannot stand to look back and ask, “What if this
happened like that?”
You say, “Don’t worry, you will not have to.”

VERSE 3:

After the smoke clears you know I will still be here.
Once all the dust settles, I may be forever.
After the smoke clears you know I will still be here.
Once all the dust settles, I may be forever.

CHORUS 3:

I cannot stand to look back and ask, “What if this
happened like that?”
You say, “Don’t worry, you will not have to.
You will not have to.”
