This is a song about Susan
This is a song about the girl next door
This is a song about the everyday occurrences
That make you feel like letting go
Yes I think we've got a problem
So much for the afterglow
So much for the afterglow

This is a song about Susan
Yeah, this is a song about the way things are
This is a song about the scary things
You see from the corner of your eye
Don't you wonder why?

We never talk about the future
Yeah, we never talk about the past anymore
We never ask ourselves the questions to the answers
That nobody even wants to know
I guess the honeymoon is over
So much for the afterglow [x4]

Oh, I remember we could talk about anything
I remember when we used to want to hang out
I remember we could talk about everything
I remember when we used to want to hang out
I remember we could talk about everything

Yeah, we never talk about the future
Oh, we never talk about the past anymore
We never ask ourselves the questions to the answers
That nobody even wants to know
(Oh well, oh well, oh well)
So much for the afterglow
(Oh well, oh well, oh well)
So much for the afterglow
So much for the afterglow

Yes, I guess we need the drama
So much for the afterglow [x8]
