After The Glow

[Verse 1]
Just what were you expecting?
What were you hoping for?
Only wish I could have given
Oh, given you a little more
First you learn to laugh it off
But that'll only go so far
You'd always like to be someone else
But you're only who you are

[Chorus]
Only after the glow
Only after the fade of her kiss
Only after the heartache do you know
What you've missed
What you've missed

[Verse 2]
Been there and tried with all my might
But I couldn't move the stone
Words sound different in the night
Over your telephone
I still see you in the streets
Sometimes even our eyes meet
I hear your voice in this old house
I still hold you in my dreams

[Chorus]
Only after the glow
Only after the fade of her kiss
Only after the heartache do you know
What you've missed
What you've missed

Only after the glow
(Only after the glow)
Only after the fade of her kiss
Only after the heartache do you know
What you've missed
What you've missed
