After You by Stray Kids

Artist: Stray Kids

Album: THIS & THAT

Genre: Pop

Length: 2:52

“After You” shifts the album’s sonic palette into a smooth, melodic R&B rhythm, serving as the “light roast” counterpart to the album’s darker, heavier tracks. Produced entirely by 3RACHA, the song trades the group’s signature aggressive delivery for vulnerable vocal performances and a atmospheric, mid-tempo groove. Lyrically, the song addresses themes of modern heartbreak, lingering longing, and the painful process of putting someone else’s closure ahead of one’s own healing

After You lyrics

LRC
I had to catch my breath, saw you walking past
Didn't know someone could turn my world around like that
You took a piece of me, it all happened so fast
I couldn't stop
And I can't survive
Yeah I swear I tried
But I'm up all night and I don't know what to do
How can I breathe the same after you
Oh I'll swim through ocean eyes tryna get to you
I'll never be the same after you
I'll never be the same after you
After you
(After you)
I hope the direction you're walking is the same as mine
My clumsy first words came out awkwardly, without any charm
No matter what happens, this is different, this is a love affair
Oh yeah for real, even just like this
These perfect feelings are a metaphor
Let's write our own anecdote
Make my heart race a little more like when I was nineteen
Our eyes meet
Sparks fly like in a comic
A fiery battle of trying to read each other
We're just fidgeting in place, yeah
And I can't survive
Yeah I swear I tried
But I'm up all night and I don't know what to do
How can I breathe the same after you
Oh I'll swim through ocean eyes tryna get to you
I'll never be the same after you
After you
(After you)
Before you, I was lost inside the dark
Nowhere to move
The same scene every day, the same routine
I had no clue
After you, I'm addicted to
In my mind, déjà vu
Every road I'm running through
You changed my view
Got me chasing after you
Chasing after you
Chasing after you
So I'm up all night and I don't know what to do
How can I breathe the same after you
Oh I'd swim through ocean eyes tryna get to you
I'll never be the same after you
(After you, after you)
