​(Verse 1) Watched the last train pulling away On a crowded corner, at the end of the day Thought I caught your perfume in the air Had to turn around, but you weren't there Knew you wouldn't be, yeah it's insane… ​(Pre-Chorus) All the city lights begin to blur Like a faded playlist, that's what we were Now it's playing loud inside my head And this static in my heart is what is left ​(Chorus) See our afterimage on the asphalt lane A phantom that I reach for in the pouring rain Everywhere I go inside this city I'm still searching for a piece of you and me I try to let you go, but I can't let go Of our afterglow ​(Verse 2) By the faded light of a vending machine Sharing one warm coffee, living in a dream I can still hear your laugh at some stupid joke It's a lonely echo since the words we spoke ​(Pre-Chorus) Memories fall around me like the stars Showing me the map of what was ours Thought I tore that future up long ago But deep inside my heart, it starts to glow ​(Chorus) See our afterimage on the asphalt lane A phantom that I reach for in the pouring rain Everywhere I go inside this city I'm still searching for a piece of you and me I try to let you go, but I can't let go Of our afterglow ​(Bridge) I know that time will only move one way Yeah I understand it, come what may But the hopeless little question of "what if" Fades into the darkness and the drift ​(Chorus / Drop) See our afterimage on the asphalt lane (Just an echo of what we were) Everywhere I go inside this city (Yeah, I'm still looking for our afterglow) I try to let you go, but I can't let go... This whole damn city is our afterimage...
