Circles on the Glass (Afterlight)

Intro, Ambient synth swell]
[Verse 1]
Rain on the windshield
Neon in waves
City dissolving
In violet haze
Wipers in rhythm
Slow and in time
You in the silence
I read your mind
[Pre-Chorus]
Streetlights flicker
Golden and blue
I draw a circle
Over you
[Chorus]
We were something
Out of time
In the echo
Of your mind
Going nowhere
Through the night
Still beside you
In the light
[Verse 2]
Hands on the window
Cold, glowing skin
Circles repeating
Where we’ve been
Engines are humming
Low like a dream
Nothing is ending
Nothing is seen
[Pre-Chorus]
The glass between us
Bends the view
I draw another
Over you
[Chorus]
We were something
Out of time
In the echo
Of your mind
Going nowhere
Through the night
Still beside you
In the light
[Bridge, Cinematic build]
And it feels like we’re still moving
Through a world that disappears
And it feels like something’s breaking
But it’s been that way for years
(Oh, oh, oh — layered vocals rise)
And it feels like we’re still reaching
For a place we never knew
And it feels like I am fading
Every time I look at you
[Final Chorus]
We were something
We were light
In the silence
In the night
I was right there
Next to you
But I’m fading
Out of view
[Outro, Expansive]
Circles on the glass now
Turning into rain
Nothing ever holds us
Nothing stays the same
Still I see your shadow
Every time I pass
Fading into echoes
Circles on the glass
[End]
