Afterglow

Watching her wishful eyes

They fade to black

As she cries herself to sleep

And thinks I'm not coming back

Counting the days

When I am away

Hearts ripped apart at the seams

Don't worry child

I'll meet you tonight in our dreams

I'd give you my life

Give me one chance

Holding our breath as your holding my hand

I'll keep your heart

Safe in my pocket

Even when dreams lead you into darkness

I'll be there

Come find me

Here in the afterglow

Here's the truth

I travel the world

Just to bring it all back for you

Watching you grow

Through the screen on a phone

Wish i could turn back time

Don't worry child

We'll meet where the stars align
