"The Aftermath" lyrics

"The Aftermath"

You were a Stetson, and I was nineteen
You were the colors that I'd never seen
You were whiskey, I was grenadine
Marlboro Reds mixed with teenage green

Like fireworks, we lit up the sky
But no one here talks about the 5th of July

Wish I'd known how this would shake out
You were a mustang that I couldn't break down
The TV don't show the mess love can make
One domino onto the next until the levee breaks
Just like that, and you fall so fast
But you can't go back before the aftermath

Couple white pills and a glass of red wine
Only damn thing to wash you out my mind
Lost my virtue, and you kept your pride
The best and the worst thing that I've done with my time

Wish I'd known how this would shake out
You were a mustang that I couldn't break down
The TV don't show the mess love can make
One domino onto the next until the levee breaks
Just like that, and you fall so fast
But you can't go back before the aftermath

They'll talk about champagne
The flowers in the chapel
Don't talk about the wreckage
When everything unravels

Wish I'd known how this would shake out
You were a mustang that I couldn't break down
The TV don't show the mess love can make
One domino onto the next until the levee breaks
Just like that, and you fall so fast
But you can't go back
Before the aftermath
