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
