Verse
Screen door swings on a rusty hinge
Radio's crackling on the porch again
Strings of lights on the backyard fence
Paper cups full of lemonade and gin
Kicked my shoes off in the gravel drive
Grass stains climbing up my knee
Everybody's here and the sun won't set
It's hanging gold in the peach tree leaves
Pre-Chorus
Can you feel it building
Right under your skin
Nowhere left to be
So where do we begin
Chorus
We're free tonight, we're dancing tonight
Bare feet spinning under string light
Nothing to lose, nowhere to hide
This is the afterglow, this is the afterglow
Alive tonight, we're flying tonight
Sparks off the gravel, stars catching fire
Hold on tight, let the whole world go
This is the afterglow, this is the afterglow
Verse
Someone's blasting trumpets from a truck bed
Sprinkler's spraying rainbows on the lawn
Ice cubes melting in a mason jar
We don't care if daylight's almost gone
Cousins racing barefoot down the road
Fireflies get tangled in my hair
Every clock in town just stopped for us
Nothing but this moment, standing here
Pre-Chorus
Can you feel it building
Right under your skin
Nowhere left to be
So where do we begin
Chorus
We're free tonight, we're dancing tonight
Bare feet spinning under string light
Nothing to lose, nowhere to hide
This is the afterglow, this is the afterglow
Alive tonight, we're flying tonight
Sparks off the gravel, stars catching fire
Hold on tight, let the whole world go
This is the afterglow, this is the afterglow
Bridge
Someday we'll be old and grey
Telling stories 'bout this day
Say the summer never left
Say we kept it in our chest
Right here, right now, we're wide awake
Nothing to prove, nothing to save
Chorus
We're free tonight, we're dancing tonight
Bare feet spinning under string light
Nothing to lose, nowhere to hide
This is the afterglow, this is the afterglow
Alive tonight, we're flying tonight
Sparks off the gravel, stars catching fire
Hold on tight, let the whole world go
This is the afterglow, this is the afterglow
Outro
Gold in the trees, gold on your skin
This is the glow we're living in
