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
