After You
by Berkeley Social Scene
The wind and the sea
The storm and the shore
We stood in the tempest
Grasping for safety
Before you, an ocean of love
After you, an ocean of blood
The waves will crash over me
but I’m still standing
After you
The salt in my eyes
The stinging of tears
The words on your lips
Composed disregard
Before you, an ocean of love
After you, an ocean of blood
The waves will crash over me
but I’m still standing
After you
Beside you
Inside you
Outside you
Without you
(guitar solo)
A calm in the storm
Brings false relief
Stand on an island
Thinking the worst is over now
Before you, an ocean of love
After you, an ocean of blood
The waves will crash over me
but I’m still standing
After you
Before you, an ocean of love
(Beside you)
After you, an ocean of blood
(Inside you)
The waves will crash over me
(Outside you)
but I’m still standing
(Without you I cannot figure out)
After you
(What to do after you)
(guitar counter-melody)
Before you, an ocean of love
After you, an ocean of blood
The waves will crash over me
but I’m still standing
After you
