Lyrics of After The Earthquake by Alvvays
verse
After the earthquake
Pictures hanging diagonally
Drive-through crying and a milkshake
It wasn't built to last
verse
Up in the front seat
You were playing with the station
And I was fidgeting with the heat
Looking back to the vibrant days of
chorus
Racket in the hall
Caution to the breeze
Say you'll climb your way out of your wake now
chorus
Velvet curtain drawn
Flowers at your feet
Say you'll contemplate how
You're weighed down
verse
The pulse of the brake light
Is the colour of burning embers
If you wake up, you will remember
The awful things I said at the edge of your bed
verse
Thrashing like a great white (I feel the northern tide)
As they rolled you up on a stretcher (crashing on the pines)
And the faint words of Jessica Fletcher (I feel the northern tide)
Were drowned out by the sound of (crashing on the pines)
chorus
Racket in the hall
Caution to the breeze
Say you'll climb your way out of your wake now
bridge
Those days, I'd never let you fall apart
But things fade, like the scent of a brand-new car
Why would I ever fall in love again
When every detail's over the guard rail?
Say you'll climb your way out of your wake now
verse
Say you'll contemplate how
You're weighed down
Are you awake now?
hook
Are you awake now?
outro
Racket in the hall
Caution to the breeze
Velvet curtain drawn
Flowers at your feet
