AFTER THE IMPACT For a second, I couldn’t hear a thing. Then my heart came back. Heavy guitars, a restless pulse, and the moment you finally say: “I want my life back.” Turn it up. Hear your heart hit back. MABG 🫵🏻🫶🏻🦇🌹 [Intro] For a second, I couldn't hear a thing. Then my heart came back. [Verse 1] I left my keys beside the door Like I was coming back for more Your coffee cooled beside the sink I let it sit there for a week I wore the quiet like a coat Kept every answer in my throat Tonight the windows shake downstairs Somebody's playing like they care [Pre-Chorus] And something underneath my ribs Remembers what a body is I take the stairs, I miss a step I'm laughing, running out of breath [Chorus] After the impact I want my life back Turn it up till I can feel My heart hit back After the impact No, I won't fade to black I got a little breath left And I'm taking it back [Post-Chorus] I want my life back My life back Hear my heart hit back [Verse 2] The corner shop is closing down I catch myself on unfamiliar ground A passing car throws music through the rain I know the words and sing them wrong again There's someone dancing at the crossing light Their shoes are soaked, their coat is open wide They catch me looking, pull me by the sleeve For half a song, there's nowhere else to be [Pre-Chorus] And something underneath my ribs Remembers what a body is The light turns green, we let it change For once I don't explain the pain [Chorus ] After the impact I want my life back Turn it up till I can feel My heart hit back After the impact No, I won't fade to black I got a little breath left And I'm taking it back [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] Tomorrow might still hurt Your cup might still be there But tonight I said my own name And it didn't sound like theirs I don't need to call this healing I don't need to understand I just felt the room around me And reached out for someone's hand [Breakdown] Let it shake Let it crack There's a pulse Coming back [Brief silence] Hear it? [Final Chorus] After the impact I want my life back Turn it up till I can feel My heart hit back After the impact No, I won't fade to black I got a little breath left And I'm taking it back [Final Post-Chorus] I want my life back My life back Hear my heart hit back [Outro] I came upstairs at sunrise. And opened every curtain. MABG Style signature ©
