Afterwards

We go for coffee, now we're friends
Not long ago, we were lovers
We keep it light, the time is tight
We keep the topic set on others
Until I ask you about your new fling, you don't tell me anything
You ask me back, I change the track, my newfound tact
Is a work in progress

No time is wasted when you're waking up slowly
I can't place it but I've tasted being lonely
With you gently on my mind
Only afterwards

It's good where we are, it's a nice distance apart for observation
If you rewind time you will find many signs along to the situation
People grow, and sometimes at different paces
I didn't think so, but look at how they've got spaces between us

No time is wasted when you're waking up slowly
I can't place it but I've tasted being lonely
With you gently on my mind
Only afterwards

No time is wasted when you're waking up slowly
I can't place it but I've tasted being lonely
With you gently on my mind
Only a-afterwards
