Lyric

Laughing till the morning, never sleeping

Your warmth is still lingering on my skin

Coffee in the air, your tangled voice

While the ticking clock keeps rushing us

The sound of packing up your things

Slowly chills the fire in my chest

But when you smile and say “see you soon”

The next promise becomes my breath

Hand in hand along the road

Slowing down to match your steps

Praying this moment never ends

As we walk together

Afterglow — your shadow in my arms

I can’t let go, I’m holding on still

Afterglow — your scent won’t fade

Burning deep inside my chest

Beyond the bus, your back drifts away

The moment the car door closes shut

I’m nothing but an empty drive

The light from the corner store

Shines too white on my way back home

The warmth you left in the passenger seat

I reach for it, but it’s already gone

The scenery outside my window

Flows by faster than it should

The silence fills the car around me

Only your name keeps echoing

Every time the signal changes

Reality pulls me closer

But my heart is still

Inside your room tonight

Afterglow — your shadow in my arms

I can’t let go, I’m holding on still

Afterglow — your scent won’t fade

Burning deep inside my chest

Beyond the bus, your back drifts away

The moment the car door closes shut

I’m nothing but an empty drive

Rewinding that night again and again

Just to hold your laughing face once more

But the foot pressing down on the gas

Carries me forward into tomorrow

Afterglow — your shadow in my arms

I can’t let go, I’m holding on still

Afterglow — your scent won’t fade

Burning deep inside my chest

Beyond the bus, your back drifts away

The moment the car door closes shut

I’m nothing but an empty drive
