After the Morning After

After the lights have all turned on
After everyone has gone
It’s too late, late to call home
The charge is dying on my phone
After I put down my guitar
and their closing out the bar
and then the last words all are said
and now I’m all alone in bed
with the ringing in my ears
flooding all my fears
and I, I can barely stand
(No the) hungover from the adrenaline
After the morning after
After the dying laughter
I’m left with what really matters
and my confidence is shattered
After the moment passes
lipstick on empty glasses
wondering if this really matters
and my confidence is shattered
and I’m trying to get to bed to do it all over again
yeah yeah
All over again
yeah yeah
After the last drink has been served
After the last sound has been heard
The band is standing on the curb
and Ive heard more praise then I deserve
it’s time the loading of the van
and all the small talk I can stand
after all the high fives
for the music keeping us alive
Still this ringing in my ears
passing days like years
I, I can barely stand the hungover from the adrenaline
After the morning after
After the dying laughter
I’m left with what really matters
and my confidence is shattered
After the moment passes
lipstick on empty glasses
wondering if this really matters
and my confidence is shattered
and I’m trying to get to bed to do it all over again
If you could only see
how much there is of me
is hidden underneath
this love Im dying to keep
my voice in satellite
screaming through the night
thats ringing in your ears
that’s soaking up your tears
and I’m trying to get to bed to do it all over again
After the morning after
After the dying laughter
I’m left with what really matters
and my confidence is shattered
After the moment passes
lipstick on empty glasses
wondering if this really matters
and my confidence is shattered
and I’m trying to get to bed to do it all over again
