Afternoon Lyrics by Cinders

No One’s Home

2021

[Verse 1]
How long have you been holding your breath?
Your face is turning blue again
Was it something I said?
You shattered me, but that's okay
There were pieces of me I hoped would fall away, ayy

[Pre-Chorus]
There's an anchor between the carpet and couch
It's pulling me down
I've lost this fight again

[Chorus]
Just like the afternoon
I'm brighter now, but I understand the gloom
That comes with the setting sun
Just like the afternoon
I'm brighter now, but I understand the gloom
That comes with the setting sun

[Verse 2]
I'm grown now, but I'm still lost
On how to deconstruct this box you've built around me
I'm not sure what I've got left
My voice is trembling again
I've gotta pick myself up, up

[Pre-Chorus]
There's an anchor between the carpet and couch
It's pulling me down
I've lost this fight again

[Chorus]
Just like the afternoon
I'm brighter now, but I understand the gloom
That comes with the setting sun
Just like the afternoon
I'm brighter now, but I understand the gloom
That comes with the setting sun

[Bridge]
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

[Verse 1]
How long have you been holding your breath?
Your face is turning blue again
Was it something I said?
You shattered me, but that's okay
There were pieces of me I hoped would fall away, ayy

[Chorus]
Just like the afternoon
I'm brighter now, but I understand the gloom
And just like the afternoon
I'm brighter now, but I understand the gloom
