Afterglow Lyrics

[Intro]
Ready?
Yeah
One, two, three, four


[Verse 1]
In a minute, all at once
Stopped dead at the door
I'm smilin' like I caught up with God
And He told me not to worry at all, yeah
Supersonic, half a night
Maybe I'm overtired
I'm laughing just a little too much
I'm rememberin' the way that it was

[Pre-Chorus]
I found it, want it to stay
My broken heart starts to race
I can't look, can't look away
I can't look away

[Chorus]
Now I'm, I'm up so close
In a blindin' light
I can see it all (See it all)
Now I, I have to know
What the feeling's like
In your afterglow
[Post-Chorus]
Afterglow
Oh-ooh-oh-ooh-oh, ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-ooh-oh-ooh-oh
Oh-ooh-oh-ooh-oh, ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-ooh-oh-ooh-oh

[Verse 2]
Photographic, diamond light
Take a picture of this
I'm breathing like I've finished the race
Eyes burning and I'm red in the face, yеah
It's automatic the second I
Felt thе rush over my spine
I'm starin' like I'm seein' a ghost
But I'm dreamin' 'bout you taking me home

[Pre-Chorus]
I found it, want it to stay
My broken heart starts to race
I can't look, can't look away
I can't look away

[Chorus]
Now I'm, I'm up so close
In a blindin' light
I can see it all (See it all)
Now I, I have to know
What the feeling's like
In your afterglow
[Post-Chorus]
Afterglow
Oh-ooh-oh-ooh-oh, ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-ooh-oh-ooh-oh
Oh-ooh-oh-ooh-oh, ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-ooh-oh-ooh-oh

[Bridge]
In your afterglow
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh

[Outro]
Now I'm, I'm up so close
In a blindin' light
I can see it all
Now I, I have to know
What the feeling's like
In your afterglow

What did Sam Fischer say about "Afterglow"?
Genius Answer

I wrote ‘Afterglow’ at a time when I felt totally burnt out on writing sessions, just creatively spent. It was a total Hail Mary song that started with me asking myself ‘what would Chris Martin do’, which I recommend for whenever you feel like you’re running on empty. It’s that euphoria you feel when everything clicks, that explosion of radical self-love and you finally feel what you’ve been waiting for your whole life. I want the world to ‘let go’ of all the BS that keeps you down when they hear ‘Afterglow’.
