Afterlife
Hailee Steinfeld Lyrics

Red eyes, like the smoke we rise
Our eyes are red, just like the smoke rising from a fire. We are in a passionate and intense moment.

As the candle's burning low
The candle is almost burned out, indicating that our time together is limited and we need to make the most of it.

Trust me in whatever you like
You can trust me to be there for you and follow your lead.

Are you playing with me?
I'm not sure if you're being serious or just playing games with my emotions.

Every time your name, it leaves my lips
I can't help but say your name every time I think about you or talk about you.

Running still like words left unsaid
My feelings for you are strong and I haven't expressed them fully yet.

Fire in my veins dream deeply love
The passion and love I have for you is intense and deeply felt.

Remind me I'm alive
Being with you makes me feel alive and reminds me of the joys of life.

Will you love me when my heartbeat stops?
I want to know if you will love me even after I die.

When my heartbeat stops, will you stay mine? (mine)
I want to know if you will remain faithful to me even after death.

Will you promise me you'll search for us?
I want to know if you will make an effort to find me again in the afterlife.

Will you find me afterlife? (life)
I hope you will be able to find me again in the afterlife, so we can continue our love story.

Oh, for better or for worse
I'm willing to face any challenge in order to be with you forever.

Will death be our last kiss, my love? (love)
I wonder if our final kiss will be when one of us dies, or if we will find each other again in the afterlife.

My ear is buzzing
I'm feeling overwhelmed and anxious about the future of our relationship.

Oh, I'm trapped, no one's coming
I feel trapped and helpless, like there is no one to save me from the uncertainty of the future.

Immortality is bliss
The idea of living forever with you is amazing, and I want to believe it's possible.

You put me down, then put me on a pedestal
Your actions towards me have been inconsistent and confusing, making it hard for me to understand how you really feel about me.

Now that I'm gone you're gonna miss me
If we were to separate or if I were to die, I know that you would miss me deeply.

Candle's burning
The candle is still burning, reminding us that our time together is fleeting.

Will you find? Will you find me afterlife?
I'm still holding onto hope that we will be reunited in the afterlife.

Oh, afterlife, the afterlife
I can't stop thinking about the possibility of life after death and what it could mean for our relationship.

Will you love (will you love) in the afterlife?
I'm wondering if our love will continue into the afterlife, or if it will fade away.

Will you love (will you love), will you love me?
I'm asking if you will continue to love me even after we die.

Afterlife
The idea of an afterlife is a constant theme throughout the song, as we search for answers about the future of our love story.
