After the Last Light

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You left your coat by the door Still smells like rain and dust One shoe under the chair Half a glass, half a trust I keep the room too neat Like that could make you stay But every hour in here Keeps slipping away [Pre-Chorus] And I try to hold the frame When the picture starts to shake I watch the corners bend I watch the colors break Tell me if this is it Tell me if you’re gone for good [Chorus] Fade to black Fade to black Hold my name, then let it crack Fade to black Fade to black I can’t follow where you’re at (where you’re at) [Verse 2] Your scarf on the back of the chair Your keys in the sugar dish I hear your laugh in the hall Then it turns to air and mist I keep the porch light on Even when the dawn comes through Some part of me still waits For a turn that’s not for you [Pre-Chorus] And I try to hold the frame When the picture starts to shake I watch the corners bend I watch the colors break Tell me if this is it Tell me if you’re gone for good [Chorus] Fade to black Fade to black Hold my name, then let it crack Fade to black Fade to black I can’t follow where you’re at (where you’re at) [Bridge] If you come back, come back clean If you stay, then stay untrue I’m done chasing shadows Through the seams you pulled in two Let the last light leave me Let the last lie slide away [Final Chorus] Fade to black Fade to black Hold my name, then let it crack Fade to black Fade to black I can’t follow where you’re at (where you’re at) Fade to black Fade to black Even now, I still hear that (still hear that)
