After You

Darling, I'm calling from miles away

All that I want is to hear you're okay

Please don't hang up on me too soon

And I find you pretty in every frame

And not in that typical Hollywood way

I'll write you poems when you paint the blues

And silver-tongued sweethearts are calling to you

They don't know half of the shit that we've been through

But you don't pay any attention to them

'Cause you know I'd look after you past the end

Our planet hit eight billion people today

But I read the emptiness all on your face

Cheer up, my darling, it's gonna be over soon

You're over-romantic in every way

And if you're not careful, it'll kill you someday

But when we made love, I heard the angels too

If every river will lead into one

Then every lifetime is better than none

And do you believe in the life after death?

You know I'd look after you past the end

Don't you know?

Don't you know that nothing lasts?

Darling, don't suffer in silence today

The voices are loud in the digital age

I'll write you poems if you paint the blues

If it's me you choose

I'll look after you
