Afterglow Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Lidor 

Cover art for Afterglow lyrics by Wilkinson

Clearly the song talks about something which about to end, and they don't want it to end :

The end of the thing described : "Even though the dancing's done Don't worry 'cause the night is young Who cares where we go"

They don't want it to end : "Someone hold the sunlight back 'Cause we want this light to last"

It could be about a long relationship, after having a good one, it's about to end, or it could be about ending of the night, which they want it to last.
