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 a fleeting night
A fleeting spark, burning bright
You ran fast, I walked slow
Still we met under the afterglow
You kissed me, I kissed you

Kissed the wind, I held my breath
You loved the rush, I feared the death
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 and a 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 rewrite our love in the stars
While I watch the stars fade
From where we are
Neon fades, love remains
Afterglow, but you're gone
Neon lights, still flicker
Neon lights, still flicker
Neon lights, still flicker

Neon lights, still flicker
Neon lights, still flicker
On the city homes
Unchanged and strong
Footsteps fade
But I'm not gone
A glance, a smile, a brand new day
One will leave, one will stay
you
