Lyrics
[Verse 1]
(Hey)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Hey)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Hey)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
[Verse 2]
Hold me like nobody else does
Do I get the best of your love?
Even when our bodies are drunk
Is it me you're stumbling from?
[Verse 3]
Forget the words that you said
With your fingers spell out my name
Take away the sky in our breath
Remember love is a game, love is a game
[Verse 4]
Don't break, don't fade
While we're not real, we're never too late
Make time, it won't hurt
Said I'll go now, but you said it first
Oh oh
[Verse 5]
I know there's nothing that I can do to make you stay
But one thing I know that will always remain, and that's the aftertaste
(The aftertaste) Taste
(The aftertaste) Taste
(The aftertaste) Taste
(The aftertaste) Taste
[Verse 6]
In the midst I'm seeing your face
And I can't believe this is fake
Blow the blossom into your room
Where you throw me in disarray
There's a button that I need to press
There's a face that I need to kiss
Come on, give me your heart and your hand
Make you conscious, never resist, never resist
[Verse 7]
Don't break, don't fade
While we're not real, we're never too late
Make time, it won't hurt
Said I'll go now, but you said it first
Oh oh
[Verse 8]
I know there's nothing that I can do to make you stay
But one thing I know that will always remain, and that's the aftertaste
(The aftertaste) Taste
(The aftertaste) (Whoa)
(The aftertaste) Taste
(The aftertaste) Taste
[Verse 9]
(Hey)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Hey)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
[Verse 10]
I know there's nothing that I can do to make you stay
But one thing I know that will always remain, and that's the aftertaste
(The aftertaste) Taste
(The aftertaste) Taste
[Verse 11]
I know there's nothing that I can do to make you stay
But one thing I know that will always remain, and that's the aftertaste
(The aftertaste) Taste
(The aftertaste) Taste
