Show is over
Close the curtains
On a story I know well
Same old lesson, same old ending
I mouth along to spite myself
Suddenly I look around and everyone is on their feet and cheering loud while I try
I try so hard to
Keep them sitting down it's not all said and done it can't be over yet we need more time
Couldn't leave if you asked me to
Cause after the show
Where can I go?
Waiting for a light, a sign to take me home
Oh I'll tell myself
That it's different this time
Say I've grown but still know
That her show's the only one I can write
Oooh . . .
Turn the page
And fade the lights in
Till I see her smiling face
The one that watches
From the pictures
The one who I cannot erase
Suddenly I look around and everywhere I turn I feel and hear her voice though I try
I try so hard to
Keep her in my mind but please don't let her out she's crying for me now
I've made my choice
But is it what she wants me to do?
'Cause after the show
Where can I go?
Waiting for a light, a sign to take me home
Oh I'll tell myself
That it's different this time
Say I've grown but still know
That her show's the only one I can write
I'll dance round in circles
And break all the mirrors
Inside every window pane
I see her here
She's there in the puddles
She's screaming so loud
I just want to make her proud
Oh after the show
Where can I go?
Waiting for a light, a sign to take me home
Oh I'll tell myself
That it's different this time
(Will it be different this time?)
And oh after the show
Where would we go?
Waiting for a light, a sign to guide us home
Oh I'll tell myself
That it's different this time
Say I've grown but still know
That her show's the only one
Oh I'm grown but still know
That our show's the only one I can write
