Lilac Youth Lyrics by Ex-Olympian

Afterlife

2020

[Verse 1]
Skipping rope and red ribbon
Moved our way through it all
Love left with the season
Summer gone with the fall
[Chorus]
Lilac youth, linger on like a halo
I'm still trying to work out just who it was (Who it was)
That I knew
[Verse 2]
Threw myself at your mercy
Singing hymns of the past
History books of the future
Tell me that this won’t last
[Chorus]
Lilac youth, linger on like a halo
I'm still trying to work out just who I was (Who I was)
To you
[Bridge]
Whenever we draw closer
And every time I fall apart
I keep looking for answers
From the heart (From the heart)
[Chorus]
Lilac youth, linger on like a halo
I'm still trying to work out just who it was (Who it was)
That I knew
[Bridge]
Whenever we draw closer (Whenever we draw closer)
And every time I fall apart (And every time I fall apart)
I keep looking for answers (I keep looking for answers)
From the heart (From the heart)
Whenever we draw closer
And every time I fall apart
I keep looking for answers
From the heart (From the heart)
[Chorus]
Lilac youth, linger on like a halo
I’m still trying to work out just who it was (Who it was)
That I knew
