After We Fall

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

You showed up quiet as a passing train

No signal no reason I could name

I caught the worry sitting in your stare

And let you walk right past the line

We held a hundred things we meant to say

Then let the quiet take the space

Your shadow moving right beside my own

Like we were racing out of time

Pre-Chorus

And I can't tell what we're turning into

But I feel the gap that's growing

You swear we're better off as two

Then why do I still hold you

Chorus

After we fall who do we turn into

Two separate roads that never meet as one

You pull me near then slip away

I catch your name in empty air

After we fall after it ends

Are we just strangers or something more

If this is all we were made to be

Why does your quiet sound like mine

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh oh-oh

After we fall

Oh-oh oh-oh

After we fall

Verse 2

The town goes dark but I'm still wide awake

Replaying every little thing I break

Your picture leaning by the closet door

I don't know what I'm waiting on

We never swore on any forever

But I figured we'd get somewhere better

Now every road keeps pulling me to you

And every night feels like I've lived it through

Pre-Chorus

And I can't tell what we're turning into

I hear the words but feel you leaving

You claim that nothing ever moved

But nothing stays the same

Chorus

After we fall who do we turn into

Two separate roads that never meet as one

You pull me near then slip away

I catch your name in empty air

After we fall after it ends

Are we just strangers or something more

If this is all we were made to be

Why does your quiet sound like mine

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh oh-oh

After we fall

Oh-oh oh-oh

After we fall

Bridge

Maybe we were always far too young

Maybe love just moved too quickly

I wanted arms that held the both of us

You wanted something you could leave

Chorus

After we fall see what we've become

We built a world now there's nothing left to hold

And even if we fade from sight

A piece of you stays warm inside

After we fall after goodbye

I keep the stars you left behind

We couldn't make forever stay

But I won't name it a wasted day

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh oh-oh

After we fall

Oh-oh oh-oh

After we fall
