AFTERGLOW

[Intro] [soft groove builds] Oh… Yeah… ⸻ [Verse 1] Hands in my pockets, walking slow Golden hour on the road Nothing chasing, nothing loud Feel it settling down Light hits different on my face I’m not running from my place Used to brace for what might break Now I let it stay ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] It’s not fireworks, not a show It’s something quiet I didn’t know The kind of peace that doesn’t shout Just slowly turning inside out ⸻ [Chorus] I’m living in the afterglow Sunlight where the shadows go Not on fire, not alone Just steady in my own I’m living in the afterglow Feel it in my bones Not reaching high Just finally home ⸻ [Verse 2] No more racing through the noise No more drowning out my voice I don’t need to prove a thing I just let the moment sing Skin feels warm beneath the sky I don’t question why What once felt far away Now it’s here to stay ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] It’s not fireworks, not a show It’s something quiet I didn’t know The warmth that lingers after pain The calm that follows after rain ⸻ [Bridge – stripped] Feet in the dirt, sun on my skin Air in my lungs, let it sink in Heartbeat steady, no more doubt I’m not looking for a way out Light hits different when you’ve been cold Hands don’t shake like they did before Nothing dramatic, just steady instead Peace in my body, clear in my head ⸻ [Final Chorus – fuller] I’m living in the afterglow Sunlight where the shadows go Not on fire, not alone Just steady in my own I’m living in the afterglow Feel it in my bones Not reaching high Just finally home ⸻ [Outro – bass continues] Let it ride Let it show I don’t rush I just glow
