Afterglow Lyrics [Intro] (One, two) [Verse 1] Stop the clocks, it's amazing You should see the way the light dances off your hair A million colours of hazel, golden, and red Saturday morning is fading The sun's reflected by the coffee in your hand My eyes are caught in your gaze all over again [Pre-Chorus] We were love-drunk, waiting on a miracle Tryna find ourselves in the winter snow So alone in love like the world had disappeared Oh, I won't be silent and I won't let go I will hold on tighter 'til the afterglow[Intro] (One, two) [Verse 1] Stop the clocks, it's amazing You should see the way the light dances off your hair A million colours of hazel, golden, and red Saturday morning is fading The sun's reflected by the coffee in your hand My eyes are caught in your gaze all over again [Pre-Chorus] We were love-drunk, waiting on a miracle Tryna find ourselves in the winter snow So alone in love like the world had disappeared Oh, I won't be silent and I won't let go I will hold on tighter 'til the afterglow And we'll burn so bright 'til the darkness softly clears [Chorus] Oh, I will hold on to the afterglow Oh, I will hold on to the afterglow [Verse 2] The weather outside's changing The leaves are buried under six inches of white The radio is playing Iron & Wine This is a new dimension This is a level where we're losing track of time I'm holding nothing against it, except you and I [Pre-Chorus] We were love-drunk, waiting on a miracle Tryna find ourselves in the winter snow So alone in love like the world had disappeared Oh, I won't be silent and I won't let go I will hold on tighter 'til the afterglow And we'll burn so bright 'til the darkness softly clears
