Faces in the crowd, I don't really even know 'em
But I still want 'em closer, to have someone around
And it would be okay if the night was never over
If time was going slower and never runnin' out

When they turn the lights on they all grab their coats
When they let the crowd out and everyone goes home
Smoke in the air, broken glass on the floor
And I'm here on my own

And it's the afterparty
When I'm the one and lonely, it's late and
When the music stops and it's just my thoughts keeping me awake
I hate the afterparty

Bottle in my hand, I don't even wanna drink it
But I'm feeling like I'm sinking and I kinda need the high
'Cause I get in my head and I don't know how to get out
And I don't understand how, it gets me every time

When they turn the lights on they all grab their coats
When they let the crowd out and everyone goes home
Smoke in the air, broken glass on the floor
And I'm here on my own

And it's the afterparty
When I'm the one and lonely, it's late and
When the music stops and it's just my thoughts keeping me awake
I hate the afterparty

I wanna be, I wanna be
Better being only with me
Even when the music stops
I wish I didn't feel so much
I wanna be, I wanna be
Better being only with me
Wish that it would be enough

And it's the afterparty
When I'm the one and lonely, it's late and
When the music stops and it's just my thoughts keeping me awake
I hate the afterparty
