Lyrics

AFTER THE SHOW

Tonight it's raining
And the lights are turned down low
My eyes are straining
In the bright white spotlight glow

I'm trying to remember
The words to my own song
I just keep on playing
Even when it all goes wrong

You ask me why I do it
How do I know?
Maybe I should just say screw it
And head back to the bar

Then you catch my eye
And it tells me all I need to know
You can't look away
I don't want to let go

I see you staring
And I try to catch my breath
You got me thinking
How much time have I got left?

I ain't no Casanova
But I like to get laid
The chances are even
With the chance I get paid

It don't mean nothing
I don't need you to applaud
I'm only playing for You
Myself and God

Then you catch my eye
And it tells me all I need to know
I can't look away
You don't want to let go

If you want a try
Come and see me after the show
But don't ask me why
If you don't want to know

And it's still OK
Any way that it goes
It's even OK
If you don't wanna show
