I can hear planes
flyin' over my head
Just hours before
you occupied my bed
In our darkness
we conjured up sunlight
In our haste our need
our thirst we lost our sight
But I was inspired tracing
the lines on your face
To the poetry the first time
I heard your name
When I trip from your lips
My heart was like a kick-drum
And it silenced the guilt
I wasn't raised to hurt anyone
Uh oh does he know
That I'm lyin' in the afterglow
That I'm lyin' but I can't go
can't say no
Make him think he's crazy
While his paranoia grows
What he should be asking
Is where did our love ago
Then I wouldn't be baskin'
In another man's afterglow
Where did the beat go
Where did the beat go
Where did the beat go
So how do I justify to the judge
and the jury
The voices in my head
that caused this fury
Never had to play
with matches to start a fire
But it got so cold and
I thought I'd forgotten desire
I was your concubine
and then your Madonna
You couldn't see anything
behind your baby's mama
How long is lonely
supposed to last
I was naked and waiting for you
to come back
Uh oh does he know
That I'm lyin' in the afterglow
That I'm lyin' but I can't go
can't say no
Make him think he's crazy
While his paranoia grows
What he should be asking
Is where did our love ago
Then I wouldn't be baskin'
In another man's afterglow
Where did the beat go
Where is the beat
Where did the beat go
That I'm lyin' in the afterglow
There's a cause and effect
although I took the steps
I dove off the bridge
cause I had nothing left
All I ever wanted was you
And in the absence of you
I fell through
Uh oh does he know
That I'm lyin' in the afterglow
That I'm lyin' but I can't go
can't say no
Make him think he's crazy
While his paranoia grows
What he should be asking
Is where did our love ago
Then I wouldn't be baskin'
In another man's afterglow
Where did the beat go
Where is the beat
Where did the beat go
Where did the love go
Where did the beat go
Where did the love go
