Afterglow
Embracing Love's Illumination
Lyrics
Stop the clocks, it's amazing
Expressing awe and surprise, suggesting a moment worth pausing.
You should see the way the light dances off your head
Describing the beauty of light reflecting off the person's head.
A million colours of hazel, golden and red
Depicting the diverse colors seen in the person's eyes.
Saturday morning is fading
Indicating the passage of time, possibly a transition in the relationship.
The sun's reflected by the coffee in your hand
Noting the sunlight reflecting off a coffee cup held by the person.
My eyes are caught in your gaze all over again
Expressing a renewed attraction and captivation by the person.
We were love drunk, waiting on a miracle
Recalling a time of intense love and anticipation for something miraculous.
Tryna find ourselves in the winter snow
Searching for identity and connection during the winter season.
So alone in love like the world had disappeared
Feeling isolated in love, as if the world has disappeared.
Oh, I won't be silent and I won't let go
Asserting a refusal to stay silent and a commitment to holding on.
I will hold on tighter 'til the afterglow
Expressing determination to endure through difficulties until a positive outcome.
And we'll burn so bright 'til the darkness softly clears
Describing a bright and hopeful future overcoming darkness.
Oh, I will hold on to the afterglow
Reiterating the commitment to holding on to the positive afterglow.
Oh, I will hold on to the afterglow
Emphasizing the enduring commitment to the positive aftermath.
The weather outside's changing
Observing a change in the weather, possibly symbolizing changes in the relationship.
The leaves are buried under six inches of white
Describing the seasonal imagery of leaves covered in white snow.
The radio is playing, Iron & Wine
Mentioning the music playing in the background, creating a specific atmosphere.
This is a new dimension
Referring to a new, possibly challenging phase in the relationship.
This is a level where we're losing track of time
Describing a level of existence where time seems to lose its significance.
I'm holding nothing against it, except you and I
Acknowledging acceptance of everything except the relationship itself.
We were love drunk, waiting on a miracle
Recalling a past state of intense love and anticipation for a miracle.
Tryna find ourselves in the winter snow
Continuing the search for identity and connection in the winter season.
So alone in love like the world had disappeared
Reiterating a sense of isolation in love as if the world has vanished.
Oh, I won't be silent and I won't let go
Asserting a refusal to remain silent and a commitment to holding on.
I will hold on tighter 'til the afterglow

And we'll burn so bright 'til the darkness softly clears

Oh, I will hold on to the afterglow

Oh, I will hold on to the afterglow
