Afterburner

You leave me with the afterburn I feel it,

You leave me with the afterburn I feel it,

Walking home while people are driving to work,

All for a girl, who told me why don’t you come over tonight.

End up at a bar and I’m feeling myself,

She’s laughing as well, but she’s got a man who’s away for the night (oh well)

Then she whispers in my ear

When the sun goes down,

Will you meet me at the afterparty,

Paint this town,

But you leave me with the afterburn

I feel it in my soul (I miss your lips on mine)

I got a feeling that I’m leaving here alone

You leave me with the afterburn I feel it,

You leave me with the afterburn I feel it,

Bum another drag of a cigarette,

Hope I don’t drown in the liquor that I’m pouring waiting for you at the afterparty,

Afterburning for you.

I don’t wanna waste time (time)

I keep on digging for gold, tripping on land mines.

I shoulda learned the first time,

That it blew up in my face (on my face)

I see the signs but keep running toward them,

Want you by me winter and spring,

Not just a summertime thing,

I think I’m on to a winner,

But I wasted all my seconds again.

When the sun goes down,

Will you meet me at the afterparty,

Paint this town,

But you leave me with the afterburn

I feel it in my soul (I miss your lips on mine)

I got a feeling that I’m leaving here alone

You leave me with the afterburn I feel it,

You leave me with the afterburn I feel it,

Bum another drag of a cigarette,

Hope I don’t drown in the liquor that I’m pouring waiting for you at the afterparty,

Afterburning for you.
