[Verse 1] Neon on your dashboard Old film on my mind Static on the windshield You fade into the sky Your jacket in my backseat Smells like summer rain We drive in slow motion Through a memory I can’t name [Chorus] Cosmic echo in my chest When you say my name so soft Every heartbeat stretching out Like a comet burning off We were golden We were ghosts Just a flicker in the glow Riding through the afterglow of us Riding through the afterglow of us (oh) [Verse 2] Midnight at the payphone Coins pressed in your hand You laugh into the receiver Like you’ll always understand The world turns VHS-blue Street signs blur and bend I’m lost between the moment And the thought it has to end [Chorus] Cosmic echo in my chest When you say my name so soft Every heartbeat stretching out Like a comet burning off We were golden We were ghosts Just a flicker in the glow Riding through the afterglow of us Riding through the afterglow of us (yeah) [Bridge] We fall Then we fall in reverse Rewind Back to every first Your hand Hanging out the door I blink You’re not there anymore (oh) [Chorus] Cosmic echo in my chest When you say my name so soft Every heartbeat stretching out Like a comet burning off We were golden We were ghosts Just a flicker in the glow Riding through the afterglow of us Riding through the afterglow of us
