Afterglow

[Verse]

There he is, the dream boy

Sitting all cliche-like

Swearing to God it isn't all in his head, he said

'I am the stuff of Heaven

I don't believe in Heaven

Ain't no way the best of life comes after you're dead

Ain't no way the best of life comes after you're dead.'

There he is the father figure with the whole world in his hands

Swearing he doesn't wanna go back in the day, he said

'If I could do it over

I'd find the lover that I know was surely made for me

We'd make ourselves a way

I know that she was made for me

We'd make ourselves a way.'

Everything I forgot

Comes around again

Like an afterthought

Back of my mind and then you see 'em in a crowd every now again

Today I looked at myself and I didn't recognize myself

I didn't recognize my hands to be mine

I felt a distant pulling

I heard a thousand voices telling me to go

But not to leave them behind

Telling me to go but not to leave them behind

Everything I forgot

Comes around again

Like an afterthought

Back of my mind and then you see 'em in a crowd every now again

Maybe I'll never know where I was found again

Losing the afterglow

Back of my mind and then I see 'em in a crowd every now and again

[Bridge]

I can not change the way

I can not change the things I want to

I can not change the way

I can not change the things I want to

I can not change the way

I can not change the things I want to

It is the missing top step

Stopping yourself from falling

Growing accustomed

Struggling to come to grips

Falling asleep in someone's secondhand comfort

Like a wooly, flannel sweater and then suddenly it rips

You've still got her favorite bottle

And you take a couple sips

Everything I forgot

Comes around again

Like an afterthought

Back of my mind and then you see 'em in a crowd every now again

Maybe I'll never know where I was found again

Losing the afterglow

Back of my mind and then I see 'em in a crowd every now and again
