After the glow

[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
