After Lyrics by PAINT

Can You Hear Me? (15th Anniversary Deluxe Edition)

2023

[Verse 1]

Have a hand on control
The other reaches the unknown
The space between, is where I float
Expectations, TV stations
I am blind -- you don't see

[Chorus]

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 lettеr that you never thought I'd read
Not еver."
"Sorry I made you love me."

[Chorus]

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

[Bridge]

I cannot stand to look back and say
"What if it happened like that?"
You say, "Don't worry, you need not."
I cannot stand to look back and say
"What if it happened like that?"
You say, "Don't worry, you will not have to..."

[Chorus]

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

[Outro]

I cannot stand to look back and say
"What if it happened like that?"
You say, "Don't worry, you will not have to...
You will not have to."
