Afterthought Lyrics by Close Talker

Lens

2016

[Verse 1]
Read my heart and say
"We'll make it alright if you follow along"
Had enough, throw it away
Keepin' it all we said that we won't
Show it off, to some dismay
Battles in the heat of the night
Feel soft. I hate to say
"Shake it off and it'll be alright."

[Chorus]
Come on baby, won't you stay?
I've said it like a hundred times
I feel my life's untied and passin' into overdrive
Keep it in a tight bouquet
So nobody can recognize
And by the way I'd hope that I'm more than was advertised

Come on baby, won't you stay?
But like this song, I'm an afterthought

[Verse 2]
I feel so far away
While we're sittin' here in a similar room
And I feel so far away
Even though it's all we've been doin'
About to go away --
I'm taking off for just over a month
It'll probably be ok
We're usually better when we can't talk enough

[Verse 3]
C'mon read my heart and say
"You'll make it alright if you follow along"
Had enough, throw it away
Keepin' it all we said that we won't
It's just the time won't last for long
We'll feel like more than just an afterthought
Just the time I hope is gone
Shake it off, about to go on

[Chorus]
Come on baby, won't you stay?
I've said it like a hundred times
I feel my life's untied and passin' into overdrive
Keep it in a tight bouquet
So nobody can recognize
And by the way I'd hope that I'm more than was advertised

[Chorus]
Come on baby, won't you stay?
I've said it like a hundred times
I feel my life's untied and passin' into overdrive
Keep it in a tight bouquet
So nobody can recognize
And by the way I'd hope that I'm more than was advertised

[Bridge]
When you said "it's so fine" when you started then
When you said "you're all mine until we start all over."

[Chorus]
Come on baby, won't you stay?
I've said it like a hundred times
I feel my life's untied and passin' into overdrive
Keep it in a tight bouquet
So nobody can recognize
And by the way I'd hope that I'm more than was advertised

Come on baby, won't you stay?
I've said it like a hundred times
I feel my life's untied and passin' into overdrive
Keep it in a tight bouquet
So nobody can recognize
And by the way I'd hope that I'm more than was advertised
