After The Fall - I Fight Dragons

Take on the weight of a happy ending

You can’t bear it all til you stop pretending

Wake up and see how imperfect we are

I lash out at times when I’ve got no right to

You shut down and close out the ones who love you

We’re flesh and bone, made of muscle and scars…

In a perfect love there’s always something wrong

In a world defined by moments it’s the long term

The slow burn

And I can’t try to justify at all

Love, will you be here after the fall?

Blacktop the hum of the motor running

Five hours to go and my stomach turning

White lines and guides only take you so far

No storybook ever reaches this part

True love plus life leads to heavy hearts

Just hold tight to me and we’ll see what we are…

In a perfect love there’s always something wrong

In a world defined by moments it’s the long term

The slow burn

And I can’t try to justify at all

Love, will you be here after the fall?
