The Miracle After Lyrics

yeah, I know I said I'd go,
but it's hard when I see everything
I've come to know
standing in the doorway
asking, "Is this the miracle after?"

yeah, I know we once were young,
but we're not
and it's alright to
get a little lost,
but what has changed will never
turn back on

so with every word stuck
in the back of my throat
I pulled away
yeah, and all of my shit
in the back of a truck
I drove away

where to begin
I lived on a whim then
and when you feel your freedom begin
it fills you up with regret

sitting on the steps
I listen while you sin
I run away
I live inside my head
and how you wish
we'd never even met
and how you hope
you soon forget

so with every word stuck
in the back of my throat
I pulled away
yeah, and all of my shit
in the back of a truck
I drove away

yeah, with everything stuck
in the back of a truck
I pulled away

if anyone has any theories on the phrase starting with, "sitting on the steps I listen while you sin," I'm having difficulty making up my mind with that line. So if anyone else has some ideas PLEASE leave a comment.

It's been nine years since you posted this, but I can answer it for you: he doesn't say "sin", he says "said."
