Afterglow Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Just when the days start getting colder
I walk the streets I never knew
There's some words I never told you
The sound rings out like the truth

[Chorus]
And if you could see what's come over me
Then you would know
'Cause I'm walkin' free, the wind at my back
Bathed in afterglow

[Verse 2]
And as I sit here in this dark room
All I seem to feel is light
And I see color, I see the maroon
In the blood of this life that's ours

[Chorus]
And if you could see what's come over me
Then you would know
'Cause I'm walkin' free, the wind at my back
Bathed in after...

[Bridge]
Watch the sun, it paints an orange sky
Lay me down, and feel the day has gone by
Just when the day, just when the day
Just when the days start getting longer
I walk the streets I never knew
And the sun comes out for you
[Chorus]
And if you could see what's come over me
Then you would know
'Cause I'm walkin' free, the wind at my back
Bathed in after...
'Cause I'm walkin' free, the wind at my back
Bathed in afterglow, oh, oh

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
