The Lover After Me
| Straight from Savage Garden... |
"This is about a haunting love that you probably shouldn't have left, but you did and it would be so much easier if you didn't still care about them. You're walking around the city with that feeling you have when you're free of something, yet you also miss it. You're reminiscing, where the buildings speak the person's name and how memories of love seep into the pavement and are everywhere you go." -Darren Hayes "This was one of the hardest songs to perform on the album. We had to be careful that we didn't suffocate the guitars with too much keyboards and vice versa. It's a really honest song with great lyrics. Emotionally, this is probably my favorite song." -Daniel Jones |

here I go again / I promised myself I wouldn't think of you today / it's been seven months and counting / you've moved on / I still feel exactly the same / it's just that everywhere I go all the buildings know your name / like photographs and memories of love / steel and granite reminders / the city calls your name and I can't move on -->chorus: ever since you've been gone / the lights go out the same / the only difference is / you call another name / to your love / to your lover now / to your love / the lover after me am I all alone in the universe / there's no love on these streets / I have given mine away to a world that didn't want it anyway / so this is my new freedom / it's funny / I don't remember being chained / but nothing seems to make sense anymore / without you i'm always twenty minutes late -->chorus and time goes by so slowly / the nights are cold and lonely / I shouldn't be holding on / but i'm still holding on for you here I go again / I promised myself I wouldn't think of you today / but i'm standing at your doorway / i'm calling out your name because I can't move on -->chorus |
