Afterglow

Mama said all your dreams will come true

If you sleep in the right bed

Tell me what time it is

I have been working on my plan

I’m gonna fall in love forever

Won’t you tell me what time it is?

How can wood live longer than me?

How can glass live longer than me

When it breaks so easily?

What are you supposed to do after sex if you don’t smoke?

How can you know what money tastes like if you’re broke?

I’m not responsible for what happens after this song

Why do you think mine are always so long?

Mmm, gimme that afterglow

I’ve got to be content with what I’ve got

I know my soul must have lost its shine

But there must still be time

I still feel fine, ‘cept when I don’t

Pray to the lord at every temptation

Just 1 More, the call letters of my station

And I try to live right, I try to keep sober

Try to keep my friends close and keep myself closer

But I break so easily

What are you supposed to do after sex if you don’t smoke?

How can you know what money tastes like if you’re broke?

I’m not responsible for what happens after this song

Why do you think mine are always so long?

Mmm, gimme that afterglow

I’ve got to be content with what I’ve got

Mmm, gimme the afterglow

I’ve got to be content not knowing what time it is

No theme song will greet my feet on the street

No credits sequence will rock me to sleep

So hold me in your arms cause if there’s one thing in the world

That I don’t want to end, it’s you
