Hold Me at the Afterparty

[Verse 1]

Still you found me

Back against the wall

Pretending I’m free

You say my name

Low

Like you’re afraid it might explode

All that we saved

Burning in the space between hello

[Pre-Chorus]

Are we really over

Or just sober

In the wrong room

At the wrong time

I’m still on your shoulder

From last October

Every little echo

Says you’re still mine (oh)

[Chorus]

Hold me at the afterparty

Like tomorrow never comes

Kiss me like you never hurt me

Like we’re strangers on the run

We can break again by morning

We can lie until the sun

Hold me at the afterparty

Like I’m still the only one (only one)

[Verse 2]

You sip too fast

Laughing at a joke you used to hate

Your friends walk past

But you only follow where I sway

You touch my hand

Quick

Like it was always meant to land

Whole world loud

But your heartbeat cuts through the crowd

[Pre-Chorus]

Are we really wiser

Or just higher

On a new face

With an old ache

Every song is ours here

In this dark mirror

Every little moment

Begging us to stay (stay)

[Chorus]

Hold me at the afterparty

Like tomorrow never comes

Kiss me like you never hurt me

Like we’re strangers on the run

We can break again by morning

We can lie until the sun

Hold me at the afterparty

Like I’m still the only one (only one)

[Bridge]

Don’t say “it’s complicated”

Just say you miss my bed

Just say you hate that playlist

Still stuck in your head (oh yeah)

If this is the last night

Let it be the best lie

Pull me into backlight

Tell me you are still mine

[Chorus]

Hold me at the afterparty

Like tomorrow never comes

Kiss me like you never hurt me

Like we’re strangers on the run

We can break again by morning

We can lie until the sun

Hold me at the afterparty

Like I’m still the only one (only one)

[Outro]

Just tonight

Just your arms

Just your name on my tongue

Hold me at the afterparty

’Til the DJ kills the song
