One last ride through Lagos after the evening is over but before the feeling is gone.
[Verse 1]
Driver takes the long flyover
Neon flickers on your cheek
All the loud parts of the evening
Finally forgot how to speak
Perfume, rain, and tired laughter
Still hanging in the backseat air
You lean your head against the window
Like you left a small planet there
[Pre-Chorus]
No need to promise me tomorrow
No need to turn this into proof
Some nights only ask for movement
And a little room for truth
[Chorus]
In the afterglow taxi
City rolling underneath
We don't need a big conclusion
Just another two more streets
In the afterglow taxi
Headlights painting everything soft
If the feeling keeps on moving
Let it move until it drops
[Verse 2]
Checkpoint lights and late-night vendors
Radio low but still alive
Every red light feels suspended
Like the dark forgot its side
You say maybe this is enough now
I say maybe enough is rare
Then we let the silence hold it
Like a song already there
[Pre-Chorus]
No need to promise me tomorrow
No need to dress it up in plans
Let the road explain the distance
Better than either of us can
[Chorus]
In the afterglow taxi
City rolling underneath
We don't need a big conclusion
Just another two more streets
In the afterglow taxi
Headlights painting everything soft
If the feeling keeps on moving
Let it move until it drops
[Bridge]
When the meter stops, the night won't
It will stay inside the seams
Of your laugh and this half-faded lipstick
And the heat between our speech
[Final Chorus]
In the afterglow taxi
City rolling underneath
We don't need a big conclusion
Just another two more streets
In the afterglow taxi
Headlights painting everything soft
If the feeling keeps on moving
Let it move until it drops
