Jonnycake - Afterglow Lyrics

I'm alone again
Cold as a stone
In these walls again
And I wonder if you know
That it's okay that you feel down
I'm just far away and I miss our town

And I never asked for this
I never wanted to leave
Oh, but I never asked for this
You were the last thing I wanted to leave

Oh, but if I had it my way
I'd stare into your eyes all day
I would not dare look away
So, will you wait

When I come back home
Would you greet me at the road
And hold me so I know
I'm still your own

And here I am again
Staring at my phone to see if you'll call again
And it hurts me to know
That it's not the same when I'm not home
I miss the love you gave
When we'd dance in the afterglow

But I never asked for this
I never wanted to leave
Oh, but I never asked for this
You were the last thing I wanted to leave

Oh, but if I had it my way
I'd carry you until my bones break
I'd do it just to hear you say
That you love me

When I come back home
Will you be waiting at your door
Waiting to hold me so I know
I'm still your own

And I never asked for this
I never wanted to leave
Oh, but I never asked for this
You were the last thing I wanted to leave
