Afterglow

(album: X - 2019)

This how the story goes (This how the story goes)
Down in Mexico (down in Mexico)
Not that long ago (not that long ago)
We were all alone (we were all alone)

And as my blood is filled with drink (blood is filled with drink)
I'm wondering if you could be the one spending all my days
Now my head is filled with dreams (head is filled with dreams)
But yours are only past 17 and our time is overstayed

Oh, no, away she goes
A way she knows
She's leaving me in afterglow
In afterglow
Oh, no, away she goes
A way she knows
She's leaving me in afterglow
In afterglow

Oh oh no
Oh yeah

Yeah, the water's cold (yeah, the water's cold)
But her body's warm (but her body's warm)
See, I told her no (see, I told her no)
But she's been here before (she took off her clothes)

And as we're dancing on the beach (dancing on the beach)
I'm wondering if you could be the one spending all my days
We pretend these stupid things (pretend these stupid things)
'Cause we just wanna feel lovely but our high is bound to fade

Oh, no, away she goes
A way she knows
She's leaving me in afterglow
In afterglow
Oh, no, away she goes
A way she knows
She's leaving me in afterglow
In afterglow

Oh I think it's time I told her
That these words are about her
She knew from the first verse
The memories in Cabo

Away she goes
A way she knows
She's leaving me in afterglow
In afterglow

Baby, can I kick it with you (with you)
Again some time (want to kick it with you)
We'll go back to that place, me and you
Would dance all night

With my memories you sleep (memories you sleep)
It's hard to picture your face now that I'm drifting out to sea

Oh, no, away she goes
A way she knows
She's leaving me in afterglow
In afterglow
Oh, no, away she goes
A way she knows
She's leaving me in afterglow
In afterglow

Oh oh I think it's time I told her
That these words are about her
She knew from the first verse
The memories in Cabo

Away she goes
A way she knows
She's leaving me in afterglow
In afterglow

In afterglow
In afterglow, woah
In afterglow
Woah
Woah
Woah
