Lyrics

[Verse 1]
All of your favorite places are closing
The neighborhood's changed
Barely made it through COVID
This morning I picture your face while the fever dream fades
And it makes me miss the days when we were frozen
You fucked around and moved out of the city
That was the day we became ancient history
Bracing myself for impact, a wrecking ball to the past
But I still get sad when it comes back to hit me
[Chorus]
Now I'm losing sleep and I can't see the bottom floor
And I can't remember what the world was like before
You say your slate is clean
I watched you leave while I was sweeping up the glass
Doesn't matter if you kept those photographs
'Cause we're living in the after, living in the aftermath
[Instrumental]
End of the world isn't this entertaining
Never a day when the news isn't breaking
Handed the wrong the man the keys, capitols under siege
And somehow it's you and me that he is blaming
[Chorus]
Couldn't get much worse, don't want my words to start a war
And I can't remember what the world was like before
I swear this machine is gonna kill me
God, I want my money back
And this country is a car somebody crashed
Now we're living in the after, living in the aftermath
Living in the aftermath
[Bridge]
I know there's gotta be a shred of human decency that's left
It's there, but barely hanging on
Something about this mess that makes me miss the past, I guess
You don't know what you got until it's gone
No, you don't know what you got until it's gone
[Chorus]
Now I'm losing sleep and I can't see the bottom floor
And I can't remember what the world was like before
Turn off the TV, I think it's time we finally call each other back
Make a list of all the goodness still intact
'Cause we're living in the after
Living in the after, living in the aftermath
