Afterglow

Yeah, I thought that we were over, thought we closed the book
I didn't even flinch the last time that you looked
I built my fortress up, yeah, I made it out of stone
Was getting used to sleeping soundly on my own

And then the air gets heavy, and the world gets slow
That's how I know you're coming back to steal the show
I know I should be running, but I'm frozen in my place

'Cause you come back around just like a ricochet
I try to duck for cover, but you find another way
You hit me from an angle that I never could have seen
The prettiest contender in a fight I'll never win
My ricochet, yeah
Oh, you always find a way, yeah

You never aim directly, that's the thing I've learned
You bounce off other people, watch me gettin' burned
You say you didn't mean it, that it's just a game
But I'm the only one who's calling out your name

And the silence is the loudest when I know you're taking aim
That feeling right before I'm back inside your flame
I know I should be running, but I'm frozen in my place

'Cause you come back around just like a ricochet
I try to duck for cover, but you find another way
You hit me from an angle that I never could have seen
The prettiest contender in a fight I'll never win
My ricochet, yeah
Oh, you always find a way, yeah

And maybe I'm the one who stands here in the line of fire
And maybe you're the answer to a dangerous desire
Yeah, maybe we're a cycle that can never be complete
A beautiful collision on a dead-end street

'Cause you come back around just like a ricochet
I try to duck for cover, but you find another way
You hit me from an angle that I never could have seen
The prettiest contender in a fight I'll never win
My ricochet, yeah
Oh, you always find a way, yeah

My ricochet
Yeah, you find a way
Coming back to me
My ricochet
