After The Party Lyrics - The Menzingers

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 admiring years 

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 

The largest shell 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 

The new-old look 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
