Verse
Salt on our shoulders, the pier lights hum
Sixteen speakers and a setting sun
Bare feet running where the tide line ends
Counting sparks off a bonfire's bend
Pre-Chorus
Can you feel it rising through your skin
Like the tide is pulling us back in
Say the word and we'll just let it go
Chorus
We come alive in the afterglow
Gold on the water, nowhere to go
Hearts like engines, running hot and slow
We come alive, we come alive in the afterglow
Verse
Paper lanterns strung on a wire
Someone's laughing by the dying fire
Denim jackets, sand in every seam
Chasing something bigger than a dream
Pre-Chorus
Can you feel it rising through your skin
Like the tide is pulling us back in
Say the word and we'll just let it go
Chorus
We come alive in the afterglow
Gold on the water, nowhere to go
Hearts like engines, running hot and slow
We come alive, we come alive in the afterglow
Bridge
Twenty summers from tonight
I'll still taste this salt and light
Every mile we ever ran
Led us here, to who we are
Chorus
We come alive in the afterglow
Gold on the water, nowhere to go
Hearts like engines, running hot and slow
We come alive, we come alive in the afterglow
