The Morning After

from Back & Forward by Jake Dollery

lyrics

Everybody’s face fades as yours starts to glow
I trip over each tired line as my ego starts to grow
Like a breath of fresh air you breeze right through me
How I wish you’d be mine but I guess that’ll never be

My words stumbled out so wrong
Saying I’ve loved you so long

If I only knew when to stop but this could be my only chance
I have to tell you how I feel as you shy away from my cheap advance
What’s wrong with me I slur I must sound so insecure
But I’ve never meet someone so beautiful with a mind so pure

My words stumbled out so wrong
Saying I’ve loved you so long…so long

My body aches as I raise my head why does it have to be this way
Recollections starting to drift into the cold light of day
I remember looking into your eyes they seemed so cool
My intoxicated stammers just made me look a fool

My words stumbled out so wrong
Saying I’ve loved you so long

The mists of last night start to lift from the dark
As a tidal wave of memories come flooding, racing back
How can I face you again now you’ve turned me down?
Did I go too far am I just a foolish clown?

My words stumbled out so wrong
Saying I’ve loved you so long

And I know it sounds absurd
But I meant every single word
And the only thing I want from you
Is a chance for me to prove it true

And I know it sounds absurd
But I meant every single word
And the only thing I want from you
Is a chance for me to prove it true
