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

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

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

Leave clues hanging from the wall
See him walking down the hall
Piecing the puzzle undone and
It's like a movie that replays, but he can't find the 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

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, oh

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 (Afterglow)
Afterglow

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

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
