The Heart After

I catch the flicker of your smile in the corner of every flame
And I wander among such hideous people who cast the blame on your own name
But I say the matter makes no difference to me
It comes out so damn easily
But honestly I think I could have forgiven you anything short of leaving so soon
Short of leaving

Whispering rhymes in my head
All relay just what you said
I will be your new voice
Your rekindled spirit
Walk your steps on my legs
Still I could not replace
Your infectious laughter
I'm just the heart that comes after the storm
The heart after the storm

I can feel you right now in the empty corners of this room
And I know you wouldn't want me to sound so alone
So nod your head to this
Go ahead and nod your head to this

Let your spirits come
Shake their souls down
And roll around this room with me
And all the while your infectious laughter
Just keeps on around and around in my head
Oh, I can feel it now
The rain pulls it down
With your infectious laughter again
Fill me up sit on my shoulder
And laugh with me
Go on laugh with me
Your infectious laughter buzzing in my head
