[Verse 1] Your shadow lives across the wall Still there Even after everything [Chorus] Your shadow lives across the wall Someone let them never learn to fall Clock moves slow Room stays cold Every corner keeps what I let go Heavy voice buried in the rain Same old tone, but it sounds strange Close my eyes and you're standing there Then you smoke, disappearing in air I know what leaving is supposed to mean Cut the signal, kill the frequency But every street, every passing view turns another shape that looks like you I know it's true, but every light still looks like you [Verse 2] Yearning, an afterimage burning where you used to be A color that my eyes remember long after you stop seeing me I reach for you inside the silence, but my hands go through the blue Yearning, an afterimage and I'm still looking back at you [Chorus] Afterimage Still looks like you Afterimage [Bridge] The city glows beneath the glass Every reflection resurrects the past Photograph losing shape with time But memory never learned to die Distance song coming through the night For one second everything feels right Then the signal cracks, the picture bends And I'm back where the illusion ends Maybe time moves fast, but I don't Maybe letting go is what I won't Every hallway, every empty room Leaves another silhouette of you I keep moving, but the truth stays still Some things fading, some things meant for will I know it's true, but every light still looks like you [Chorus] Yearning, an afterimage burning where you used to be A color that my eyes remember long after you stop seeing me I reach for you inside the silence, but my hands go through the blue Yearning, an afterimage and I'm still looking back at you [Outro] Maybe love is only a lie Lingering after goodbye Maybe some things disappear But never really leave our eyes If I turn away tonight Will you finally fade from view? Or will the dark just make you brighter Like it always seems to do? I erased the words, I erased the names Changed the room, changed the frame Changed the streets, changed everything Still your ghost gets through somehow No transmission, no reply Still your outline fills my eyes Maybe losing you was never clean Maybe love lives like behind the scenes Your light afterimage burning where you used to be A color that my heart remembers even when my eyes can't see I reach for you inside the silence, one last time I follow through You're only an afterimage, but part of me still lives with you [Outro] Afterimage You fade You glow You're gone But every light Still looks like you
