[Verse 1]
Count the cracks in the ceiling
Can't seem to get off my bedroom floor
Wishing we were just dreaming
Whole world's burning outside my door
[Pre-Chorus]
Think I've run out of feelings
So obsessed, but I can't ignore
And I can't hold my breath anymore
[Chorus]
Standing still while we're spinning out
Where do we go when we're going down?
Will you still be here?
In the after
Lost my way out of paradise
Don't know what waits on the other side
Will you still be here?
In the after
[Verse 2]
Count the days as they'rе passing
Count 'cause it's all that I can control
Nervous wreck, always crashing
Scarеd to death of what lives unknown
[Pre-Chorus]
Think I've run out of feelings
So obsessed, but I can't ignore
And I can't count on me anymore
[Chorus]
Standing still while we're spinning out
Where do we go when we're going down?
Will you still be here?
In the after
Lost my way out of paradise
Don't know what waits on the other side
Will you still be here?
In the after
[Bridge]
Where do we go now?
Where do we go?
Where do we go now?
Where do we go from here?
In the after
[Chorus]
Standing still while we're spinning out
Where do we go when we're going down?
Will you still be here?
In the after
Lost my way out of paradise
Don't know what waits on the other side
Will you still be here?
In the after
[Outro]
Where do we go now?
Where do we go?
Where do we go now?
Where do we go from here?
After was written by Luxtides & Jackson Hoffman & Julia Brex.
After was produced by Jackson Hoffman.
“After” is about grappling with the pandemic and its effects on my mental health – namely my OCD and anxiety – while trying to process this uncertain, scary world where people are dying every single day.
