lyrics
The Aftermath
Lets pick it up where we left off
Or wallow in nostalgia
Cause livin’ scared don’t work at all
And I cant stand to see you cry
I dropped you off, near Valencia
I waved goodbye, you turned and walked
Oh what a sham, these years wasted
You couldn’t stand to see me try
The Past is past
Leave it at that
Let’s give it up
This can’t be love
You talk in code
Leave me alone
This bridge it lengthens every night
The aftermath can sting for a long long time
Hurray hurray for bitter days
You hopped a flight to santa fe
I got the memo way too late
I should’ve known it the whole time
The Past is past
Leave it at that
Let’s give it up
This can’t be love
You talk in code
Leave me alone
This bridge it lengthens every night
The aftermath can sting for a long long time
Lets pick it up where we left off
Or wallow in nostalgia
Cause livin’ scared don’t work at all
And I cant stand to see you cry
I dropped you off, near Valencia
I waved goodbye, you turned and walked
Oh what a sham, these years wasted
You couldn’t stand to see me try
The Past is past
Leave it at that
Let’s give it up
This can’t be love
You talk in code
Leave me alone
This bridge it lengthens every night
The aftermath can sting for a long long time
Hurray hurray for bitter days
You hopped a flight to santa fe
I got the memo way too late
I should’ve known it the whole time
The Past is past
Leave it at that
Let’s give it up
This can’t be love
You talk in code
Leave me alone
This bridge it lengthens every night
The aftermath can sting for a long long time
