afterthought
by brendan philip mccusker
verse
golden glow with a heart under lock and key
riding in on a gentle breeze
touch-and-go from the start of the fantasy
slowly drifting further out to sea
pre-chorus
pull the mirror off the wall
tunnel vision blurring lines that you don’t recall
but hold your head high cause you know
there’s always someone soft to break the fall
chorus
so thanks a lot
does the garden of forget-me-not
hold that love you long forgot
go and take the shot
if you make it all up on the spot
you can save yourself
from an afterthought
verse
endless summer of a wolf howling at the moon
living free inside a sunshine daydream
undercover upper crust crumbled out of tune
careless dancing on a balance beam
pre-chorus
pull the mirror off the wall
tunnel vision blurring lines that you don’t recall
but hold your head high cause you know
there’s always someone soft to break the fall
chorus
so thanks a lot
does the garden of forget-me-not
hold that love you long forgot
go and take the shot
if you make it all up on the spot
you can save yourself
from an afterthought
