Memories in the Afterglow

Yeah, we knew this wouldn’t last,

But let’s lose ourselves tonight.

Dark skies painted with past,

We’ll leave this moment bright.

Too bad we know this won’t last forever baby,

But can it hurt to just pretend?

Wash down this red pill with all this alcohol,

Whispers of what could’ve been.

I wake up now I’m drunk, grab my phone, hit her up,

“Hey, you around?”, she says, “I’m in town.”

Wanna catch up for old times’ sake?

The summer fling still aches

As we pour our hearts out.

Choking on reality, oh baby, grab my hand,

Count to three and make a stand.

Say my name, close your eyes,

Let’s fall into the skies.

I know, I know love can be so unfair,

But I don’t, I don’t wanna see you despair.

My heart, my heart racing inside,

I won’t, I won’t forget your lips against mine.

Since you’re gone, I’ve drowned my thoughts in gin,

Trying to relive the good times we lived in.

Just thinking back when we locked in tight,

We could chase the stars and dance in the night.

Paralyzed in these memories, spinning like a dream,

Every touch was electric, every glance a beam.

But now I’m lost in shadows, haunted by the past,

Moments fading slowly, nothing built to last.

I know, I know love can be so unfair,

But I don’t, Iro]

Maybe we were just a summer fling,

But tonight I want to feel everything.

So let’s hold on tight, let’s not let go,

For one last ride in the afterglow.
