After The Fall

(álbum: DEMOlition: Songs That Didn't Make It On KABOOM! - 2013)

Take on the weight of a happy ending
You can't bear it all til you stop pretending
Wake up and see how imperfect we are

I lash out at times when I've got no right to
You shut down and close out the ones who love you
We're flesh and bone, made of muscle and scars...

In a perfect love there's always something wrong
In a world defined by moments it's the long term
The slow burn
And I can't try to justify at all,
Love, will you be here after the fall?

Blacktop the hum of the motor running
Five hours to go and my stomach turning
White lines and guides only take you so far

No storybook ever reaches this part
True love plus life leads to heavy hearts
Just hold tight to me and we'll see what we are

In a perfect love there's always something wrong
In a world defined by moments it's the long term
The slow burn
And I can't try to justify at all,
Love, will you be here after the fall?
