NYE - Only After

Dove in blind, didn’t realise

It was only two feet deep

I never plan this out at all

This night, this week, this month, you’ll see

You came around, and I kissed the ground

Your prying eyes, too wide for me

My ego’s bleeding through the mouth

But New Year’s Eve won’t let it be

This fighting, so inviting

You struck me a lot like lightning

I braced myself but the thunder came and went

It’s getting late, I’m tired

Only you can take me higher

You don’t believe what you can’t see

Didn’t take you for a liar

Line up shots at 2am

Another night to condemn

Burned down my walls, it couldn’t last

We’re just like wildfire

I’ve lost my mind amongst the shadows

Night so dark, can barely see

Don’t hold your breath, I won’t hold mine

I’m treading water underneath

The waves you made, left us a mess

Gasping for air, you promised me

You’d lead me out, not leave me here alone

This fighting, so inviting

You struck me a lot like lightning

So brace yourself, the thunder’s coming back

It’s getting late, I’m tired

Only you can take me higher

You don’t believe what you can’t see

Didn’t take you for a liar

Line up shots at 2am

Another night to condemn

Burned down my walls, it couldn’t last

We’re just like wildfire

So run away, I’m tired and so far from home

After all, I wish I spent that night alone

I tried to find you there but you were already gone

But did you find yourself?

It’s getting late, I’m tired

Only you can take me higher

You don’t believe what you can’t see

Didn’t take you for a liar

Line up shots at 2am

Another night to condemn

Burned down my walls, it couldn’t last

We’re just like wildfire

We’re just like wildfire

We’re just like wildfire
