Hi, James.

I see your point.

The intent of using the word "after" was to convey the idea that the singer was speaking to the soon-to-be departed about what will happen "after" it happened, while the second verse would be the singer reflecting on how things had - and had not changed - by their leaving.

So both verses are taking place "in the present", only they are at different "present" times.

But it obviously didn't come off as clearly as it should have.

Glad to hear the rest of the song worked. I appreciate your feedback laugh

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
