(VERSE 1)
Street lights blur like watercolour paint
Midnight air and mascara stains
I used to run from every silence
Now I let the quiet stay
There's a gold tint through my bedroom blinds
Dust dancing in the morning light
Funny how the world kept turning
Even on my darkest night
(PRE-CHORUS)
Maybe peace was never too loud
Maybe I was just too lost to hear it
And for the first time in a while
My heart isn't racing in the night
(CHORUS)
It's because of this beautiful rain
Now in the afterglow, I feel the change
It's because of this beautiful rain
I can now heal
Three steps forward, no steps back
Learning how to let things go
Maybe this is what surviving feels like
Now I'm dancing in the afterglow
Oh
Dancing in the afterglow
Oh
(VERSE 2)
Old photographs upon the shelf
Colours fading by themselves
I used to hold onto the memories
Now I wish them well
The windows open to the breeze
Carrying away what’s left of me
Funny how the weight I carried
Was never mine to keep
(PRE-CHORUS)
Maybe letting go takes its own time
Maybe I was learning through it
And for the first time in a while
I can see the colours in the sky
(CHORUS)
It's because of this beautiful rain
Now in the afterglow, I feel the change
It's because of this beautiful rain
I can now heal
Three steps forward, no steps back
Learning how to let things go
Maybe this is what surviving feels like
Now I'm dancing in the afterglow
Oh
In the afterglow, oh (three steps forward, no steps back)
In the afterglow, mmm (three steps forward, no steps back)
In the afterglow, take it slow (three steps forward, no steps back)
In the afterglow
