After The After Party — текст песни (Lucksmiths, The)

Even the most familiar face
Can disappear without a trace
Amidst a crowd of theatregoers
I had been waiting for a while
My stare mistaken for a smile
Till I found the person
No-one knows as well as I do
A hug hello and I`m beside you again

I know the lines to read between
And when you`ve stolen every scene
For good and all, the curtain closes
And though you mightn`t win awards
The audience applauds

No-one knows as well as I do
The untold hours till I`m beside you again
But tomorrow when you wake
And you feel a little flat
I won`t make the mistake
Of reminding you of that

The understudy understands
The patience it demands
We`re enjoying what we`ll just call champagne
If they could only act their age
But all the world`s a stage they`re going through

After the after party is over
And the last of the cast is removed from the sofa
Then, and only then, am I beside you again
Late at night on threadbare carpet
So in the cold, hard light of the supermarket
Please! There were grazes on my knees
