Afterglow by Finn Hansbury

I like to think you are an angel
Sent down to me to screw me over
One day you intoxicate me
The next I’m stone-cold sober
Cause I’m just an inside joke
And your friends all know
You could never be close
With someone like me

I wish that I could know your secrets
But I am stranded on the ground
I think that you forgot me
On your way back to the clouds
Took me for a spin
And abandoned ship
Now you’ve gone with the wind
To another town

I’m waiting for the skies to clear
I want to be your friend
But something in the storm
Tells me that’s not the way this ends
Time will be my savior
If he lets me love again
Cause I’ve been waiting for a rainbow
But with you, there ain’t no afterglow

I’m trying to find solace in another
But no body seems to fill my hollow heart
I don’t want another lover
I don’t want a brand new start
I’d rather idolize you
Than admit the truth
Cause nobody is you
But you will never want me

I’m waiting for the skies to clear
I want to be your friend
But something in the storm
Tells me that’s not the way this ends
Time will be my savior
If he lets me love again
Cause I’ve been waiting for a rainbow
But with you, there ain’t no afterglow

Arms outstretched and halo bent
You sure put on a show
I know you felt indifferent
But I can’t let you go

I fantasize the day you wake up longing
For my loving touch you gave up so willingly
I pray that you are hurting
Look how bitter you’ve made me
No one will ever love you
The way I do
I don’t think you knew that
When you lost me
