Verse
Room still hums from where you passed
Floor keeps the shape your shadow cast
Ash light drifting off your shoulder blade
Trail you left before the echo fades
Everybody else moved to the door
You stayed burning on the same square floor
Heat sits low where your hand let go
Dust in the spotlight, falling slow
Pre-Chorus
Was that the burn or just the afterglow
Do we chase the streak or let it go
Chorus
Chase the tail of light
Chase what's left tonight
Chase the tail of light
Ember on the floor, still bright
Chase the tail of light
Follow where the heat ignites
Chase the tail of light
Comet's gone but we're still alight
Verse
Your collar's damp, the room's gone quiet
Bassline drops but the floor won't buy it
Streak of gold across the ceiling fan
Same spot glowing where the two hands ran
Strangers step around the empty space
Like they feel the burn we didn't chase
Floor remembers heavier than skin
Keeps the print of where we've been
Pre-Chorus
Was that the burn or just the afterglow
Do we chase the streak or let it go
Chorus
Chase the tail of light
Chase what's left tonight
Chase the tail of light
Ember on the floor, still bright
Chase the tail of light
Follow where the heat ignites
Chase the tail of light
Comet's gone but we're still alight
Bridge
Maybe the burn was never the point
Maybe it's this, the smoke in the joint
Maybe we don't need the flash to stay
Maybe the afterglow's the way
Chorus
Chase the tail of light
Chase what's left tonight
Chase the tail of light
Ember on the floor, still bright
Chase the tail of light
Follow where the heat ignites
Chase the tail of light
Comet's gone but we're still alight
