Lyric

Long day, same shoes

Same train, same views

Bills on the table

Still trying to be grateful

I kept my head up

Even when it broke

Little by little

I learned what love is for

And I don’t need perfect

I need a little peace

A hand to hold me steady

When the whole week leans on me

So breathe in, breathe out

Let the hard part pass

We’re still here somehow

And that means we’re winning at last

After work glow

Stay a little slow

After work glow

Let the heavy go

We can start again

We can let it show

After work glow

That’s how we know

You came through the door

With that tired smile

Left your day at the curb

And stayed a while

You said, “Be careful now

With the words you throw”

I said, “I know, I know

I’ve been learning to go slow”

No need to rush this

No need to prove

Two hearts in one room

With some room to move

And I don’t need fireworks

I need your honest eyes

The kind that tell the truth

And still make room for trying

So breathe in, breathe out

Let the hard part pass

We’re still here somehow

And that means we’re winning at last

After work glow

Stay a little slow

After work glow

Let the heavy go

We can start again

We can let it show

After work glow

That’s how we know

Kids on the corner

Old friends on the porch

Teenagers laughing

At the screen door’s torch

Some chase a paycheck

Some chase a dream

Some just want a clean path

And a night of peace

I’ve seen bright heads

And I’ve seen gray

Same hope in the chest

Just walking different ways

So tell me your story

I’ll tell you mine

We’re made of the moments

That survive the grind

So breathe in, breathe out

Let the hard part pass

We’re still here somehow

And that means we’re winning at last

After work glow

Stay a little slow

After work glow

Let the heavy go

We can start again

We can let it show

After work glow

That’s how we know

If the road gets rough

If the room feels cold

If the night stays long

And the truth feels old

Hold my hand

Don’t let go

We were built for the bend

And the quiet after show

No crowns, no gold

Just a clean small chance

To forgive ourselves

And take the second dance

After work glow

Stay a little slow

After work glow

Let the heavy go

We can start again

We can let it show

After work glow

That’s how we know

After work glow

When the whole world folds

After work glow

We still hold hope

We can start again

We can let it show

After work glow

That’s how we know
