The Afterglow

Verse 1

Remember me the way I remember you

That soft glow I always see you in

Touching memory still resting on my skin

Those eyes of coffee with their specks of gold

Warm like morning light across a room

Gentle like the hush before you speak

I trace the outline of the hours we kept

Honey in my veins when I hear your name

Pre-Chorus

And I hold on

I hold on to the ache

'Cause letting go would break me twice

Chorus

Remember me the way I remember you

Keep the soft glow burning in my chest

I'll be the echo standing in the blue

Remember me the way I loved you best

Drop

Hold me

Hold me

In the afterglow

Hold me

Hold me

In the afterglow

Verse 2

Your laughter running low like summer bass

Heavy in my chest where you still stay

I count the sleepless hours on my palms

Painted in the tones I can't erase

Losing you was never quite goodbye

Just a softer way to call it gone

I whisper to the dark that knows your shape

And dream the color of your waking face

Pre-Chorus

And I hold on

I hold on to the ache

'Cause letting go would break me twice

Chorus

Remember me the way I remember you

Keep the soft glow burning in my chest

I'll be the echo standing in the blue

Remember me the way I loved you best

Bridge

If time could hold us where we fell

I'd stay inside that golden spell

And never have to learn to miss you

Never learn to miss you

Chorus

Remember me the way I remember you

Keep the soft glow burning in my chest

I'll be the echo standing in the blue

Remember me the way I loved you best

Drop

Hold me

Hold me

In the afterglow

Hold me

In the afterglow
