Afterglow in the Rain

[Verse 1] Your arms were the only shelter I knew When the sky cracked open and poured on through The window was fogged, the world disappeared Just your heartbeat steady against my ear [Pre-Chorus] Then you let go slow, like a secret kept And I watched the rain erase what we left [Chorus] Afterglow in the rain, washing over skin Warm where your lips had been, cool where you begin Every drop is a name, every ripple a prayer Afterglow in the rain, and you're almost there [Verse 2] I traced the small rivers running down your spine Counted the thunder like it was counting time Your jacket hung dripping beside the door A scent I would chase to the ends of the shore [Pre-Chorus] Now the room holds the hush of a song half-sung And the clouds outside know what we've become [Chorus] Afterglow in the rain, washing over skin Warm where your lips had been, cool where you begin Every drop is a name, every ripple a prayer Afterglow in the rain, and you're almost there [Instrumental Solo] [Bridge] If the storm forgets us before morning light Let it carry our fingerprints into the night I will stand in the garden of what we made Hold the taste of your name before it fades [Outro] Afterglow, afterglow Afterglow in the rain Afterglow, afterglow Afterglow in the rain
