Lyrics

The city's sleeping underneath us
But neither one of us can rest
You're tracing circles on my skin
Like you're trying to leave a message
The room is dark except for neon
Spilling colors through the blinds
And every second that you're close to me
Feels borrowed from another life

I know I should be thinking clearly
But clarity was never part of this

You're the aftertaste
The rush that never really fades
Long after your lips are gone
You're still running through my veins

Every touch leaves a mark
Every look leaves a stain
You're the aftertaste
And I keep wanting it again

You say my name like it's a secret
Only meant for us to know
And I swear the way you move
Could make a sinner out of anyone
I've had enough bad decisions
To know exactly what you are
But something about the danger
Makes it harder not to want it

I know where this is going
That's what makes it hard to leave

You're the aftertaste
The rush that never really fades
Long after your lips are gone
You're still running through my veins

Every touch leaves a mark
Every look leaves a stain
You're the aftertaste
And I keep wanting it again

Maybe you're a beautiful addiction
Maybe I'm exactly the same
Maybe we're just gasoline
Waiting for a spark to turn to flame

Maybe I don't want a cure tonight

Stay a little longer
A little longer

You're the aftertaste
The rush that never really fades
Long after your lips are gone
You're still running through my veins

Every touch leaves a mark
Every look leaves a stain
You're the aftertaste
And I keep wanting it again
