[Intro – soft, breathy]
We were fire
In the dark
Just a spark
In my heart
⸻
[Verse 1]
Summer skin
Midnight air
You were close
Almost there
Every touch
Felt like gold
But some stories
Don’t unfold
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
If I stayed
Would it last
Or burn out
Too fast
⸻
[Chorus – hypnotic hook]
We were the afterglow
Soft and low
Beautiful
But letting go
We were the afterglow
Warm but slow
Fading into
What I know
After the glow
After the glow
⸻
[Instrumental Drop]
[Deep bass groove + analog synth lead + airy vocal chop: “after… after the glow…”]
⸻
[Verse 2]
City lights
Blur my eyes
Truth hidden
In goodbyes
No regrets
Just the heat
Of a love
Incomplete
⸻
[Pre-Chorus 2]
If I held
You tighter
Would we shine
Brighter
⸻
[Chorus – stronger]
We were the afterglow
In the night
In between
Wrong and right
We were the afterglow
Now I grow
From the fire
You don’t know
After the glow
After the glow
⸻
[Bridge – airy breakdown]
Maybe love
Wasn’t meant
To stay
Maybe we
Were just
A wave
Softly breaking
Softly gone
⸻
[Final Chorus – emotional peak]
We were the afterglow
Not forever
But enough
To let me know
We were the afterglow
Now I rise
From the light
In your eyes
After the glow
After the glow
⸻
[Outro – minimal]
Just a spark
In the dark
After the glow
