Afterlight

You did what you wanted
Left my attic haunted
Twenty-five to life
An American lady
Who's often left me waiting
In the glow of the afterlight

Show me your taillights, baby
I won't be a baby tonight
But when you want to give me a try, I

A hotel room in Portland
The place is not important
I don't know, don't ask me why
I'm trying to feel better
And feeling so whatever
But nothing comes to mind

I'm seeing the Sun through the window
But never stepping into the light
But when you want to give me a try, I

I have found a family wherever I've tried
People who still love you when there's something to hide
And you can't say we're satisfied
Watch the moonlight
But tonight

I'll leave the side door open
And fall asleep still hoping
And dream about it all
A city between mountains
The flooding and the fountains
We're headed west to stop the fall

I'm seeking a friend for the end of the world
And you sprang to my mind
Baby, come on and give me a try
I have conquered planets and lakes, come alive
I have seen the stars in the Nicaragua sky
You are only human and yet so divine, I
