Lyrics
[Verse 1] I still keep the cup you left On the shelf by the window A little chip on the rim From the day we laughed too hard The floorboards know your steps Even after all this time I catch your shape in the glass Then it fades before I turn [Pre-Chorus] And I sit with the quiet Like it came here to stay Running my fingers through old notes That never found their way [Chorus] Hold me in the afterglow Hold me where the soft winds go I remember, I remember How you made a room feel home Hold me in the afterglow Let the aching come and go I remember, I remember You were warm, you were home [Verse 2] There’s a scarf on the chair And a book half-read in spring I press my thumb to the page Where you bent it back for me Outside, the rain starts slow On the brick and on the pane I let it wash through the years Till your name feels light again [Pre-Chorus] And I sit with the quiet Like it knows what to say Some loves don’t leave all at once They just soften away [Chorus] Hold me in the afterglow Hold me where the soft winds go I remember, I remember How you made a room feel home Hold me in the afterglow Let the aching come and go I remember, I remember You were warm, you were home [Bridge] If I close my eyes I can hear your smile Not the whole lost world Just a little while And maybe that is enough To carry me through A small bright flame Of me and you [Final Chorus] Hold me in the afterglow Hold me where the soft winds go I remember, I remember How you made a room feel home Hold me in the afterglow Let the aching come and go I remember, I remember You were warm, you were home [Outro] Warm, you were home Warm, you were home
