“Afternoon,” is about losing a lover, acting as like they don’t seem to care, as if they don’t love you anymore, the feeling of worrying and hopelessness overwhelming. Praying that it’s not true. Making you try to hold on to this person, trying to do whatever it takes to make this person want to be...
[Verse 1]
You got me hoping I'm wrong again
Girl, it's not what I need
I'm spending all of my time tryina' open up
Let it breathe, let it breathe
It all comes down to whether you love me anymore
God, I hope you do
'Cause I can't tell, I can't tell
[Chorus]
By the look in your eyes, uhm uhm
It was the early afternoon
I thought I lost you to the tune
You got me singing that, uhm uhm uhm
Got me holding on, uhm uhm uhm
Got me holding on, uhm uhm uhm
Got me holding on, uhm uhm uhm
Got me holding on
[Verse 2]
Can you let it be?
You're the air I breathe
You said it all come down when the morning comes
You said we'd both come 'round when the sun was up
Round and round, we go
Girl, I'm trapped in a daydream
Paint my soul on the big screen
[Chorus]
Tell by the look in your eyes, uhm uhm
It was the early afternoon
I thought I lost you to the tune
You got me singing that, uhm uhm uhm
Got me holding on, uhm uhm uhm
Got me holding on, uhm uhm uhm
Got me holding on, uhm uhm uhm
Got me holding on
[Outro]
Got me holding on
Got me holding on
