Slow drive
Windows down on the coast road
Your hand
Hanging out in the last gold
You laugh
Like the day never gets old
I watch
Every second turn to smoke

Afterglow
On your skin
On my clothes
Holding on
Till the colors let go
Say my name
Like a secret you stole
Fade so slow
But we burn in the afterglow
(yeah, the afterglow)

Late night
Your head on my shoulder
Street signs
Blurring into a soft blur
You say
“Keep the car getting older”
I turn
Every mile into closure

Afterglow
On your skin
On my clothes
Holding on
Till the colors let go
Say my name
Like a secret you stole
Fade so slow
But we burn in the afterglow
(oh, in the afterglow)

You lean in closer
Breath on my throat
Every word slower
Every word low
If this is over
Don’t let it show
Leave me your shadow
Leave me your glow

Afterglow
On your skin
On my clothes
Holding on
Till the colors let go
Say my name
Like a secret you stole
Fade so slow
But we burn in the afterglow
(yeah, the afterglow)
