Afterburn Anthem

Verse

Treadmill next to mine, you caught my eye

Six a.m. mirror, you smiled sideways twice

Water bottle rolls, I chase it to your feet

Now my pulse is doing more than keeping beat

Chalk dust on your hands, you spot me on the bar

Steady voice like thunder, close but not too far

Every rep I count is really counting you

Heart rate climbing higher than it's ever knew

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel this burning past the muscle

Something deeper than the sweat and hustle

Twenty seconds left and I'm still stuck on

The way you said my name like it was something

Chorus

This is my afterburn anthem

Heart won't quit, it keeps on slamming

Long after the lights go dim

I'm still running, running, running into him

Every beat is chasing after

This is my afterburn anthem

Verse

Locker room silence, you left your number pinned

Right where my towel hangs, right where the day begins

Three weeks of glances, now we're keeping pace

Matching our breathing to a faster place

You spot my weakness like you're reading skin

Say I'm stronger now than when we first begin

Cool down never happens when you're standing there

My whole body's singing, filling up the air

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel this burning past the muscle

Something deeper than the sweat and hustle

Twenty seconds left and I'm still stuck on

The way you said my name like it was something

Chorus

This is my afterburn anthem

Heart won't quit, it keeps on slamming

Long after the lights go dim

I'm still running, running, running into him

Every beat is chasing after

This is my afterburn anthem

Bridge

Maybe it's the oxygen, maybe it's just you

Maybe every heavy lift was leading me to

This exact door swinging, this exact light

This exact collision I've been chasing all my life

I don't need the cooldown, don't need the ice

My whole chest is burning and it feels so right

Chorus

This is my afterburn anthem

Heart won't quit, it keeps on slamming

Long after the lights go dim

I'm still running, running, running into him

Every beat is chasing after

This is my afterburn anthem

Running into him

Running into him
