Later On Lyrics

Don't walk too far behind me

I might get lost without the sound of footsteps trailing one by one

Don't keep your story locked up inside those countless souvenirs

I'd like to hear it from you where they all came from

And I don't need to hear the whole truth

I just think it might be nice

I just wanna know about you

Even if we never speak again

Here's a burned up photograph that I took of you a few years back

I liked the way you wore your hair back then

Faded like a dotted line, between our smiles, between our eyes

A photo of a now is now a then

If I leave before you know I'm gone

It doesn't mean I didn't have a good time

Can't you see that I can't bear to say goodbye

Even if I'll see you later on

If my eyes turned blue tomorrow

Would it change the way I see

Would it alter my perception

Would you look the same to me

If we focus on this evening

Will it keep the sun away

We could lay awake and talk all night

And not have a thing to say
