A Few Hours After This
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The look before I go
Is the look for you
You only have to look
And it will all come true
And we can fall outside
Into the fizzy night
Or pull me down in here
You know it's all the same
I only want to see
If you are happy again
Or we can roll around
And find out upside down
A few hours after this
And we're apart again
Like two white checks
Like opposite poles
In a secret game
Like nothing like these, I suppose
I really should have known
By the cut of your smile
That the answer would be simple
It still took you a while
To get it out of me
I thought you'd do it easily
Just put your hands around my heart
And squeeze me until I'm dry
I never thought you'd ever start
To ever ask me why
Just put your hands around my heart
And squeeze me until I'm dry
I never thought you'd ever start
To ever ask me why
I never saw you again
I never saw you again
I never saw you again
I never saw you again
