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 and the fleeting night A 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 death
Somehow,
in the in-between-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 and the fleeting night A 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'll rewrite our love in stars
While I watch from where we are
But love's a song
that fades too soon
Echoes left beneath the moon
Now you'll rewrite our love in 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 Glance,
a smile,
a brand new day
