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
