The Afterglow

A new one I finished up in April. It's about being so caught up in a good feeling that you can never seem to act and change the things that need to be changed.

Lyrics:

I hate to see you go, when things are so far from complete
Across the streets of this two story town.
But how many times will I meet you here standing underneath
The afterglow of streetlamps long put out
Your open eyes and darting gaze never sees my hopeful face.
A look that seems to pass right through me, evading what's important to see
I'm paralyzed, can't think, can't speak, can't hardly breathe
So listen to me, listen to me,

I got to, get myself out of you.
Can't understand what I'm willing to put myself through
But I want to, keep going back to you.
Can't explain how I never do what I should do.
I'm so paralyzed by you.

This time I swear that it will never once again
happen like it always did before
Looking forward without hope that when the clock strikes 10
it chimes out our hearts final chord
Your open eyes and darting gaze never sees my hopeful face.
A look that seems to pass right through me, evading what's important to see
I'm paralyzed, can't think, can't speak, can't hardly breathe
So listen to me, listen to me,

I got to, get myself out of you.
Can't understand what I'm willing to put myself through
But I want to, keep going back to you.
Can't explain how I never do what I should do.
I'm so paralyzed by you.

I want to stop it
But I can't let myself risk
My foolish dreams that are no more than school boy
fantasies. What's wrong with me?

Your open eyes and darting gaze never sees my hopeful face.
A look that seems to pass right through me, evading what's important to see
I'm paralyzed, can't think, can't speak, can't hardly breathe
So listen to me, listen to me,

I got to, get myself out of you.
Can't understand what I'm willing to put myself through
But I want to, keep going back to you.
Can't explain how I never do what I should do.




I got to, keep going back to you.
I got to, keep going back to you.
I'm so paralyzed by you.
