Afterglow pt. 1

I went swimming in the afterglow Held my breath through the undertow, I I've been dreaming of a heart of gold, I I've been dreaming mostly on my own Walked away in the aftermath I've been thinking how things don't last, I I've been dreaming of a heart of gold, I I've been dreaming mostly on my own The strong cords come undone Flesh may fade and strength may run But I keep swimming in the afterglow Now I'm swimming mostly on my own What was to be, could have never been But if a heart can turn, can it turn again? Two embers used to light the way But now you turn the key, and you drive away We forget and we remember We hold on and we surrender Holy flames, fickle embers We hold on, we hold on In the bunker of a heart The stitches hold or they fall apart, I I've been dreaming of a heart of gold, I I've been dreaming mostly on my own The strong cords come undone Flesh may fade and strength may run But I keep swimming in the afterglow Now I'm swimming mostly on my own What was to be, could have never been But if a heart can turn, can it turn again Two embers used to light the way But now you turn the key, and you drive away We forget and we remember We hold on and we surrender Holy flames, fickle embers We hold on, we hold on What was to be, could have never been But if a heart can turn, can it turn again? Two embers used to light the way But now you turn the key, and you drive away We forget and we remember We hold on and we surrender Holy flames, fickle embers We hold on, we hold on
