Afterglow In My Hands (Americana Drift Version)

[Verse 1] We were barefoot in the driveway Plastic cups and sunset sweat You were talking ’bout forever I was laughing Trying to catch my breath Old dog barking at the neighbors Your hair tied up with my old band Didn’t know that little Tuesday Would be all I’d ever understand [Pre-Chorus] Funny how the small things Stick harder than the big plans did I still hear you say my name Like a promise you never finished [Chorus] I still feel you in the afterglow Like a song I almost know Fading through the screen door slow But it’s stuck in my head All these seconds I can’t hold Turn to silver Turn to gold You’re the story I don’t own But I read it again You were gone in a moment You’re still warm on my hands [Verse 2] Found your note behind the dresser Just a line and half a heart Coffee stain and crooked letters “Don’t forget me when it gets dark” I’ve been driving past your exit Every Sunday Same old road Same clouds hanging like a secret Same seat where you pulled me close [Pre-Chorus] Funny what the rain keeps And what it lets wash down the drain Your perfume in my old truck Still shows up when it starts to rain (yeah) [Chorus] I still feel you in the afterglow Like a song I almost know Fading through the screen door slow But it’s stuck in my head All these seconds I can’t hold Turn to silver Turn to gold You’re the story I don’t own But I read it again You were gone in a moment You’re still warm on my hands [Bridge] If I’d known that was the last time I’d have stayed ’til the sky turned black Would’ve traced every freckle Would’ve begged time to give one back Now it’s just your old sweatshirt On the chair where you used to stand I close my eyes and you’re right here Sunburnt smile Slipping through my hands (hey) [Chorus] I still feel you in the afterglow Like a song I almost know Fading through the screen door slow But it’s stuck in my head All these seconds I can’t hold Turn to silver Turn to gold You’re the story I don’t own But I read it again You were gone in a moment You’re still warm on my hands [Outro] You were gone in a moment But you still Somehow Still Feel warm on my hands
