[Intro]
Ahhh, you light me up,
you light me up, up, you light me up.
Oh, when the dark rolls through, oh you shine,
you shine right back, yeah, you shine.

[Verse 1]
We were young, we were wild, we were burning,
oh, we ran through the blue.
We were breaking the night into pieces,
and I was chasing you.
Oh, we were built from a spark and a rumor,
from a breath and a laugh in the dark.
We were dancing on top of the silence,
trying to wake up our hearts.

[Pre-Chorus]
Hold on, hold on now, don’t let go,
don’t let the feeling fall apart.
Hold on, hold on now, don’t back down,
I can still hear your heart.

[Chorus]
We come alive in the afterglow,
in the afterglow, in the afterglow.
We come alive when the lights burn low,
oh, we already know.
Oh, oh, under the afterglow,
we don’t need a road.
Oh, oh, under the afterglow,
don’t let me go.

[Verse 2]
Say my name when the room starts shaking,
when the world goes thin and strange.
Pull me close when the ground feels hollow,
when the colors start to change.
We were made for the sound of rising,
for the rush when the walls cave in.
For the laugh in the middle of breaking,
for the fire under our skin.

[Pre-Chorus]
Stay close, stay close now, don’t fade out,
don’t let the moment slip away.
Stay close, stay close now, don’t shut down,
we were born for this flame.

[Chorus]
We come alive in the afterglow,
in the afterglow, in the afterglow.
We come alive when the lights burn low,
oh, we already know.
Oh, oh, under the afterglow,
we don’t need a road.
Oh, oh, under the afterglow,
don’t let me go.

[Breakdown]
Ah-eeee,
I can feel it breathing.
La la love, love, love again,
oh, it keeps on reaching.
Beat by beat by beat by beat,
we can hear it calling.
Step by step by step by step,
we are never falling.

[Bridge]
All of my life, all of my life, all of my life,
I was waiting for a sign.
Now I can laugh, now I can laugh, now I can laugh,
with your hand here in mine.
Oh ha, ha, ha, oh —
we survived the night.
Oh ha, ha, ha, oh —
now we burn this bright.
Oh ha, ha, ha, oh —
no more hiding out.
Oh ha, ha, ha, oh —
sing it loud now.

[Final Chorus]
We come alive in the afterglow,
in the afterglow, in the afterglow.
We come alive when the lights burn low,
oh, we already know.
We come alive in the afterglow,
where the broken gold still shows.
We come alive in the afterglow,
oh, don’t let it goooooo.
