Angel In The Afterglow

[Verse 1]

You walked in like an omen

Rain on your tangled hair

Laughing at all my armor

Like it was never there

Your name felt ancient

Carved in a secret tongue

You said

“I’ve died a thousand times

And still I’m young”

[Chorus]

Are you an angel in the afterglow?

Falling

Falling

But you never hit the road

Every scar on you

Looks like something holy

Hold me in the ruins of my faith tonight

Burn my doubts in your cathedral eyes

If this is wrong

I don't wanna know

Angel in the afterglow

[Verse 2]

You trace the lines on my knuckles

“Tell me what broke your hands”

I tell you half of the story

You say

“I understand”

You kiss the cracks in my courage

Like they were gilded gold

You turn my haunted house of hurt

Into a home

[Chorus]

Are you an angel in the afterglow?

Falling

Falling

But you never hit the road

Every scar on you

Looks like something holy

Hold me in the ruins of my faith tonight

Burn my doubts in your cathedral eyes

If this is wrong

I don't wanna know

Angel in the afterglow

[Bridge]

Maybe love is just a quiet war

Fighting for a softer word

I’ve been sharpening my silence

You unarmored every hurt (yeah)

If we’re just two lost kids

Sleeping in a borrowed sky

Then let me lose myself

Inside your light (oh)

[Chorus]

Are you an angel in the afterglow?

Falling

Falling

I don't wanna let you go

Every scar on you

Looks like something holy

Hold me in the ruins of my faith tonight

Burn my doubts in your cathedral eyes

If this is wrong

Leave me in your glow

Angel in the afterglow (oh-oh)

Angel in the afterglow

Angel in the afterglow
