Afterglow
Love's Ephemeral Glow: Unraveling the Essence in Afterglow
Lyrics
There's nothing here either one can say
There's no suitable thing to say.
Isn't nothing what you wanted, anyway?
Didn't you want nothing at all?
Nothing like a feeling that comes so fast
There's no sensation like the sudden arrival of something.
When you stumble on nothing lasts
When you unexpectedly discover something, it doesn't endure.
But I stood and I waited for my love to increase
I remained and hoped for my love to grow.
And it shocked me, baby, when the news was released
It surprised me greatly when the news was made public.
When you told me
When you informed me...
If you're living in somebody's afterglow
If you're existing in someone else's past happiness or success...
Love is something that you'll have to see go
Love is something you must accept fading away.
If you feel your ladder is much too tall
If you believe your ambitions are unattainable...
Love is something that you'll have to let fall
Love is something you'll need to release.
Love is something that you'll have to let fall
-Thought of leaving here to chance alone
Considered taking a risk by leaving things to chance.
Instead I waited for what I own
Instead, I waited for what rightfully belongs to me.
Outside my window it looks much too cold
The external situation seems too unwelcoming.
To ever wander from the strength of home
To stray away from the safety of home seems daunting.
But you changed everything in your offhand way
You altered everything casually.
You kept your silence and you let me behave so badly
You remained silent and allowed me to misbehave.
If you're living in somebody's afterglow
If you're residing in the radiance of someone else's achievements...
Love is something that you'll have to see go
Love is something that will eventually fade.
If you feel your ladder is much too tall
If you perceive your aspirations as unachievable...
Love is something that you'll have to let fall
Love is something you'll need to release.
Love is something that you'll have to let fall
-Something forced me to look in your face
Something compelled me to confront you directly.
It could have stripped us of all our grace
It could have stripped away our dignity.
But I'm tired of talking to myself
I'm weary of having internal conversations.
It was worth all my heart-earned wealth
It was worth all the effort I put into it.
So I centred my mind on the task that's to come
So I focused on the forthcoming task.
To detach all I have from the solace of one who taught me
To detach from someone who taught me solace.
If you're living in somebody's afterglow
If you're immersed in someone's past accomplishments...
Love is something that you'll have to see go
Love is something that will eventually fade.
If you feel your ladder is much too tall
If you think your goals are unattainable...
Love is something that you'll have to let fall
Love is something you'll need to release.
Love is something that you'll have to let fall
-Love is something that you'll have to let fall
