"After Dark" lyrics

"After Dark"

I called a cab while you got drunk
Wanna leave this town before it tears me up
Couldn't find what you were lookin' for
Now you're runnin' out to the dancin' floor

But you still call me after closin' time
Say you accidentally pressed my name again

Won't you slow down darlin'?
If you fly too fast, you might not see the edge
Take the road up the mountain
'Cause you won't find truth or peace of mind in a bar room
But you'll find fake love in a stranger's arms
After dark

I remember when you first loved me
And the smile you gave from the passenger seat
Did the fire in your eyes burn out?
I thought you'd be better off by now

But you still call me on some lonely nights
And say you accidentally pressed my name again

Won't you slow down darlin'?
If you fly too fast, you might not see the edge
Take the road up the mountain
'Cause you won't find truth or peace of mind in a bar room
But you'll find fake love in a stranger's arms
After dark

I've found some rest in smaller towns
Where the love runs deep and the grass grows wild
Did you find what you were lookin' for?
'Cause I found myself on a mountain lake shore
