Neon lights paint the city in gold
You pull me in, never doing what you're told
Laughing loud, spinning under the signs
While I stay back,
lost in my quiet mind
You're the fire in the midnight air
I'm the shadow in the alley there
We dance like strangers,
hearts out of sync Yet I fall every time you blink
We were
neon in the fleeting night
Fleeting spark,
burning bright
You ran fast, I walked slow
Still we met under the afterglow
You kissed the wind, I held my breath
You loved the rush, I feared the depth
But somehow in the in-between We built a world that felt like a dream
You're the fire in the midnight air I'm the shadow in the alley there
We dance like strangers,
hearts out of sync Yet I fall every time you blink
We were neon
in the fleeting night
Fleeting spark,
burning bright
You ran fast,
I walked slow Still we met under the afterglow
But
love's a song that fades too soon
Echoes left beneath the moon
Now you rewrite our love in the stars While I watch from where we are
Neon fades,
love remains Afterglow,
but you're gone
Neon lights still flicker on The city
hums unchanged and strong
Footsteps fade,
but I'm not gone A glance, a smile,
a brand new day
I believe one will stay
