Island Afterglow

[Intro]

Salt on my skin

Sun in my eyes

Waves write my name

Then erase it twice

[Verse 1]

I came here heavy

Suitcase full of doubt

Now my shoes off

Shirt loose

Let the worries burn out

Kids chase the foam

Vendors shout my name

Smoke in the breeze

Everything's changed

[Chorus]

Island afterglow

Stay in my soul

I carry your color

Wherever I go

Heartbeat in the sand

Drumming real slow

I got your rhythm

Stuck in my bones

Island afterglow

I’m taking you home

[Verse 2]

Old man by the pier

Gold tooth and grin

Says

“you can’t rush joy

You just breathe it in”

Plastic cup sweating

Lime on my tongue

Somebody shouting

“This night just begun!” (hey!)

[Chorus]

Island afterglow

Stay in my soul

I carry your color

Wherever I go

Heartbeat in the sand

Drumming real slow

I got your rhythm

Stuck in my bones

Island afterglow

I’m taking you home

[Bridge]

All of my troubles

Fall with the tide

All of my troubles

Fall with the tide

All of my questions

Dance in the sky

Voices together

Calling my name

“Once you feel this

You’re never the same” (woah)

[Chorus]

Island afterglow

Stay in my soul

I carry your color

Wherever I go

Heartbeat in the sand

Drumming real slow

I got your rhythm

Stuck in my bones

Island afterglow

I’m taking you home
