Before & After

Is it all wrapped up in desire?

Is this the place we go to light the fire?

Someone like you should never be given the keys

So just sit back, leave the driving to me

You can spend your life looking for that special someone

Someone to share, someone to fly, someone to swoon

But when you least expect it, and when your guard is down

They simply walk into the room

And it's a sudden realization

The train has left the station

I'm done and gone my friend, my single life is at an end

A heady situation

But a subtle kind of persuasion

And nothing can prevent love getting through

Before is over now, and the after is with you

It's true what they say about the heart

It's skips a beat and gives you a start

People like us should never be alone

So stay with me now, keep talking on the phone

Imagine the qualities that your dream love will have

Trying to fit it all into the frame

Then all at once you came along and it all burst into flames

I threw away the rule book, 'cause love is no game

And it's a sudden realization

The train has left the station

I'm done and gone my friend, my single life is at an end

Oh a heady situation

But a subtle kind of persuasion

And nothing can prevent love getting through

Before is over now, and the after is with you

Goodbye to my old ways

Goodbye to the good old days

I left a note, for my old self and I quote...

"Leave it all behind"

And it's a sudden realization

The train has left the station

I'm done and gone my friend, my single life is at an end

Whoa, oh, oh, oh it's a heady situation

But a subtle kind of persuasion

And nothing can prevent love getting through

Before is over now, and the after is with you

Before is over now, and the after is with you

Before is over now

And the after is with you
