Saying It in Neon

Intro

Neon hums, we still here

Verse

Your jacket's gone but the smell remains

Six a.m., the speakers holding their pain

Bassline fading into the glass line

Coffee breath, your thumb on my spine

Pre-Chorus

So what do we call this kind of low light glow?

Something's ending and something wants to go

Hands still humming off the beat we lost

Chorus

We're saying it in neon, soft but loud

Fingers tracing shadows that an hour outlived

I'm holding onto nothing I don't want to hold on to

Saying it in neon before the light is gone

Verse 2

Empty cups stacked three high against the wall

Your shoes are missing, mine still echo the hall

Streetlights flicker out one by one like they know we're done

But my heartbeat's keeping time with a song already over

Pre-Chorus

So what do we call this kind of low light glow?

Something's ending and something wants to go

Hands still humming off the beat we lost

Chorus

We're saying it in neon, soft but loud

Fingers tracing shadows that an hour outlived

I'm holding onto nothing I don't want to hold on to

Saying it in neon before the light is gone

Bridge

Maybe endings learn to sing their own way

Maybe 'goodbye' doesn't have to fade to grey

Your hand slips down but my chest keeps the beat

This is still our song, just a little less loud, a little less complete

Outro

Neon flickers, then it's gone

I'm still holding it
