After the Fire

Separation

Litigation
The lawyers move in, start the count
Looking in the children's eyes
I see no sign of understanding
Tired of those lies
Now it's the truth they're demanding

Vindication
I see you're livin' by those rules
Jubilation
Only in the eyes of fools
Now the judge says take the stand
Don't be nervous, there's no jury
Is this what you had planned?
Just look at what you're doing to me

After the fire
Will we still talk on the phone at night?
After the fire
After the fire
You will see a change in me
Man alone can't make it

Ooh, yeah

Separation
You see, the woman, she wants out

We grew up with our mistakes
We faced every step together
Kiss me one last time
I'll make that kiss last forever
Yeah, yeah, yeah
