After All
Faces Down Quartet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
After too little time
I hold back my heart's crazy rambling
The fear that I should overwhelm your smile
Frightens the spiders inside me
Oh this could be magic
After all, after all
You daren't define which has happened to us
Well, I've had a name for it for some time
You try to find what it is that you feel
I long to tell you so truly
Oh this could be trouble
After all, after all
And I say is it a dream like it was back then
Is it a dream like it was back in the stars
Could I be so wrong? Could I be so wrong?
Chew every word to prevent what I know
From slipping right out of my fingers
Out of control, I don't know where to go
'Cause you were my map when I found you
Oh this could get lonely
After all, after all
And I say is it a dream like it was back then
Is it a dream like it was back in the stars
Could I be so wrong? Could I be so wrong?
No one can say all the things that they feel
Without the risk of a failure
So keep in my cards close to my heart
All of you I loved from a distance
Oh this should be magic
After all, after all
