Afterglow On The Dial

Verse

Radio hums on the kitchen shelf

Static and soul singing to itself

Blinds cut stripes on the wall in gold

Last night's heat going soft and slow

Cup of tea gone cold in my hand

Trainers still on, can barely stand

Someone's laughing on the stairs outside

Half the city on the same tide

Pre-Chorus

Dial's turning, catching the light

Chorus fading into daylight

Shuffle steady, heartbeat mild

Hold the station, hold the dial

Chorus

Afterglow on the dial

Sun coming up, we linger a while

Two-step slow where the static hides

Afterglow, afterglow on the dial

Verse

Curtain rail rattling in the breeze

Milk float humming past the trees

Neighbor's window catching the shine

Speaker's warm like it's keeping time

Foil blanket folded on the chair

Glitter dust still stuck in my hair

Snare kicks soft like it's tiptoeing round

Morning wearing last night's sound

Pre-Chorus

Dial's turning, catching the light

Chorus fading into daylight

Shuffle steady, heartbeat mild

Hold the station, hold the dial

Chorus

Afterglow on the dial

Sun coming up, we linger a while

Two-step slow where the static hides

Afterglow, afterglow on the dial

Bridge

Turn it down but don't turn it off

Let the frequency carry us soft

Nobody's rushing, nobody's leaving

Just the light and the sound we're keeping

Chorus

Afterglow on the dial

Sun coming up, we linger a while

Two-step slow where the static hides

Afterglow, afterglow on the dial
