[Verse 1]
Love, loss, light circling everybody
It gets hazy as the years begin to breathe
Step back in the memory
Relive a parody of me
He gets hazy
Move along in disbelief

[Pre-Chorus]
We're not the people we once were and we've moved on seeking out answers (Answers)
Viewing the past self like he's only a friend of mine

[Chorus]
The world is turning as we grow
We soak in the afterglow
It's only part of the path we take
Left in our wake
The colors of our past will fade to gray
This life replays in stereo
We soak in the afterglow

[Verse 2]
Leave clues hanging from the wall
See him walking down the hall
Piecing the puzzle undone and its like a movie that replays, but he can't find that boy inside
Passing through all the hues
Blue vibe like it's a funeral, funeral (For somebody)
Close the coffin of his mind
He was only a friend of mine
[Pre-Chorus]
Where does he go and is he just a silhouette?
What do we know?
What little of him do we know?
Just a part of who we were still in the light

[Chorus]
The world is turning as we grow
We soak in the afterglow (Afterglow)
It's only part of the path we take
Left in our wake (Left in our wake)
The colors of our past will fade to gray
This life replays in stereo
We soak in the afterglow

[Post-Chorus]
(Afterglow, afterglow)

[Bridge]
To purge the cells of someone else
We shed our past down the wishing well
Your seven years have come and gone so well
To purge the cells of someone else
We shed our past down the wishing well
Your seven years have come and gone so well
[Chorus]
The world keeps turning as we grow
We soak in the afterglow
It's only part of the path we take
Left in our wake
The colors of our past will fade to gray
This life replays in stereo
We soak in the afterglow
