Lyrics José González

José González

Afterglow

I feel just like an open book

Exposing myself in this neighborhood

Talkin' to people as if I knew them well

Thinking that everyone has gone through different kinds of hell

Lately, I've found myself in doubt

Asking myself what it's all about

What am I doin' here, what's this leadin' to?

What's the point of all without you?

Well, I've go promises to keep

Like the cutting [?] of the light upon my feet

Each time I fall

Every now and then in dreams

By the river, 'neath the trees

Leaves of yellow, red and brown I had

You whisper in my ear

Your love belongs to everyone

I feel just like an open book

A couple of words is all it took

In front of a bright white canvas [?]

Stirring vacantly no freak [?] against my will

A drifting vessel in the storm

Pushed around from shore to shore

I know I've so much left to see

I know I've so much left to give

But the memories remain

Yet this courage don't feel the same

Filling pages one by one in the warmth of other songs
