Aftershock

The moment has passed. My hands haven't caught up yet.

About the song

I wanted to stay in the small pause after everything changes, before there's any language for it. I'm still standing where it happened. I'm breathing. Whatever comes next can wait a few seconds.

Aftershock lyrics

Hands still shaking
Sky still bright
Something broke
The moment we touched

I'm standing still
Where lightning struck

The aftershock sleeps in my bones
Your name's the echo that it leaves
If this is what the spark becomes
I'm shaking
But I breathe

Aftershock
Aftershock

The sky hasn't opened yet
But it will
