Parallel Afterglow

Verse 1

Static on velvet, two AM alive

Your jacket hits the strobe, overdrive

Sub-bass vibrating right through my shoes

Every glass on the bar shakes in twos

Pre-Chorus

Kick drum bends the light on the wall

One step and we're starting to fall

Catching my speed on the floor

Feel what the speakers are for

Chorus

We run in a parallel afterglow

Painting the dark everywhere we go

Violet and gold on a two-lane track

Moving too fast to be looking back

You match my pulse on the other side

We run in a parallel afterglow

Verse 2

Prism on your collar, sweat on your cheek

High notes ringing out when you speak

Floorboards tilting thirty degrees

Tangled in ribbons of laser beams

Pre-Chorus

Kick drum bends the light on the wall

One step and we're starting to fall

Catching my speed on the floor

Feel what the speakers are for

Chorus

We run in a parallel afterglow

Painting the dark everywhere we go

Violet and gold on a two-lane track

Moving too fast to be looking back

You match my pulse on the other side

We run in a parallel afterglow

Bridge

Doors swing wide to the boulevard mist

Streetlights flash with an amber twist

One tempo hammering out of the chest

Morning breaks while we outrun the rest

Chorus

We run in a parallel afterglow

Painting the dark everywhere we go

Violet and gold on a two-lane track

Moving too fast to be looking back

You match my pulse on the other side

We run in a parallel afterglow
