Aftermath Lyrics

In the aftermath of what might be

You stole it once and then you set it free

You brought my crooked heart to me

Like a puzzle still unsolved

In the stolen wheel that we knew as time

You pressed your body into mine

More like a blessing than a crime

It made your mind revolve

In the aftermath of might have beens

You stole my favorite writing pen

While I swore not to go back again

Into scenes that don't resolve

Now we're standing on a ledge of crime

What's yours is yours, what's mine is dying

There's never been a reason for crying

Or watching tears dissolve

This must be the way that love evolves

With an ounce of pain and a pint of trust

I'm sure it's gonna rain, but if we must, we must

The leaves of spring know that somehow they'll be turning colors in the fall

In the aftermath love conquers all

In the aftermath of a life long search

Sitting there up upon my perch

Like a virgin nun in a catholic church

Watching the hands of God entwine

The stains of life that stick to my skin

He washes them out, I put them back again

When you reach the end you have to begin

To continue to unwind

In the aftermath of what we lost

No time to figure out what it cost

To cross the rivers that we have crossed

With no urge to get involved

Now we're standing on a ledge of hope

Wondering how the others cope

With lies hung from a fraying rope

That stings like cold wet towels

This must be the way that love evolves

With an ounce of pain and a pint of trust

I'm sure it's gonna rain, but if we must, we must

The leaves of spring know that somehow they'll be turning colors in the fall

In the aftermath love conquers all
