After the Party

It's the little things my mind commits
 To etch behind my eyelids
 Like getting stoned when we wake up
 Coffee grounds and coffee cups
 Your silhouette in high top sneakers
 And hardcore from laptop speakers
 The classics to the more obscure
 From Minor Threat to your old roommate's band
 Like a kaleidoscope in vibrant hues
 I navigate around your tattoos
 Said you got that one on a whim
 When you were breaking up with him
 And that Matryoshka Russian doll
 That lines your shelf from big to small
 What a way to start anew
 To shed your skin and find the old you
 Everybody wants to get famous
 But you just want to dance in a basement
 You don't care if anyone is watching
 Just as long as you stay in motion
 We put miles on these old jean jackets
 Got caught up in the drunk conversations
 But after the party, it's me and you
 After the party, it's me and you
 With a new outlook on everything we see
 From high upon this rooftop over South Philly
 To the nights we lose our self control
 From the sex, from the drugs, from the rock and roll
 Everybody wants to get famous
 But you just want to dance in a basement
 You don't care if anyone is watching
 Just as long as you stay in motion
 We put miles on these old jean jackets
 Got caught up in the drunk conversations
 But after the party, it's me and you
 After the party, it's me and you
 After the party, it's me and you
 After the party, it's me and you
