Afterlight State

{soft ambient textures, filtered synth

pads, delicate piano chords,

reversed vocal ambience} (ooh-ooh-ooh) {simple synth motif introduces emotional identity}

Clouds in the rear view,

fading to grey

You came along and you swept them away

Like a quiet conversation at the start of the day

(hmmm) {muted electronic percussion,

soft sub bass, light finger snaps} I feel the warmth of the

sun on my face

Every shadow is falling out of place Oh,

we are

running out of the dark {filtered drums building,

rising white-noise textures, swelling pads} And it feels like the sunrise after

the rain

Seeing the world in color again

With you, the highway goes on forever

Yeah, we're finally whole together (oh-oh-oh)

{huge melodic payoff, wide supersaw chords,

bright

plucks, sidechained synth layers} Gold on the water,

reflecting the street

Finding a rhythm in the heat of our feet

No longer waiting for the other shoe to drop

{rhythmic electronic grooves, subtle clean guitar fills,

evolving synth layers}

We took the long way to find who we are

But here in the quiet,

we aren't very far

(no, we aren't very far) {strip back to piano and ambient pads,

gradual emotional rebuild} And it feels like the sunrise after the rain

Seeing the world in color again

With you, the highway goes on forever

Yeah, we're finally whole together (we are whole together!)

{maximum energy, wider synth stacks,

octave melodies, additional percussion,

cinematic impacts}

Sunrise after the rain...

With you... {drums fade out,

synth motif recurs, soft piano,

ambient textures fade to silence} (ooh-ooh-ooh) {fade out}
