[Verse 1] We stepped through weather made of glass The roads unspooled beneath our feet Above us, oceans held their breath Below, the houses turned to seeds [Pre-Chorus] No north, no clocks, no way back home The horizon changed when we got close You took my hand & pulled me through Like this was somewhere we both knew [Chorus] Stay with me in the afterglow Where the old days move so slow I let you go, but not the way A river leaves the stones it knows Stay with me, just for tonight Until the pale sky turns to white [Verse 2] We crossed a field of sleeping doors Each one led somewhere further in The clouds were underneath our shoes The air went silver on your skin [Pre-Chorus] We passed the edge where names run out Where every distance folds in two I didn’t care what world it was As long as I was there with you [Chorus] Stay with me in the afterglow Where the old days move so slow I let you go, but not the way A river leaves the stones it knows Stay with me, just for tonight Until the pale sky turns to white [Breakdown] We walked beyond the final road Past where the maps refuse to go The sky kept opening its rooms And every one belonged to you No before No after No reason left to turn around If you were moving, I was moving If you were there, I had been found [Final Chorus] Stay with me in the afterglow Where the old days move so slow I let you go, but not the way A river leaves the stones it knows Stay with me, just for tonight Until the pale sky turns to white [Outro] Past where the maps refuse to go Stay with me in the afterglow
