The Afterglow

We were drinking in the cabin Middle of the summer And you told me we'd be friends forevermore We were running through the wildwood And oh how I remember All the times you'd laugh and finish my sentences We stayed up to the morning light Talking 'bout the girls we like You and me foolishly wanna be getting old When we stayed up to the morning light Talking 'bout the girls we like These days we're always living in the afterglow Living in the afterglow We been talking in the evening I can tell you're slowing down Got life you wanna savor for while Right before we hang up Told me that you missed the sound Of the songs I made up under those summer skies We stayed up to the morning light Talking 'bout the girls we like You and me foolishly wanna be getting old When we stayed up to the morning light Talking 'bout the girls we like These days we're always living in the afterglow Living in the afterglow We were just kids on the day we met We were 13 playing old cassettes Those gold days I remember always always We were 16 learning how to drive We were 22 made it out of school alive Those gold days I'll remember always We stayed up to the morning light Talking 'bout the girls we like You and me foolishly wanna be getting old When we stayed up to the morning light Talking 'bout the girls we like These days we're always living in the afterglow Living in the afterglow
