Coffee on the counter
Midnight going cold
Your jacket on my chair
Like someone pressed pause on the world
Streetname on your wristband
From that show two weeks ago
Your laugh still in the hallway
Like dust caught in the glow
We’re living in the afterglow
Where your shadow’s on my doorframe
And I still move in slow motion
We’re kissing in the past
I know
But the light on your old side of the bed
Won’t let you go
I’m living in the afterglow
(afterglow, afterglow)
Messages unsent
Sitting in a row
Every almost-thought
Another ghost I never show
Your charger’s in the socket
Like you’ll swing back through the door
I talk into the quiet
Pretend you’re on the second floor
We’re living in the afterglow
Where your shadow’s on my doorframe
And I still move in slow motion
We’re kissing in the past
I know
But the light on your old side of the bed
Won’t let you go
I’m living in the afterglow
(afterglow, afterglow)
Maybe in another life
We make it past the morning
Wake up to the real thing
Not a memory replayed
But here it’s just the ceiling
And the color slowly fading
And me
Still staring at the place
Where all your daylight stayed
We’re living in the afterglow
Where your shadow’s on my doorframe
And I still move in slow motion
We’re kissing in the past
I know
But the light on your old side of the bed
Won’t let you go
I’m living in the afterglow
(afterglow, afterglow)
