Verse
Last shift under the buzzing sign
Sneakers squeak on the checkout line
I fold your apron, box up the tape
Twelve years of noise down to one small crate
Punch the clock at a quarter to nine
Watch the doors slide shut one final time
The parking lot lights flicker gold and blue
Like the store's waving goodbye to you too
Pre-Chorus
So what do we do with an empty aisle
And a heart that's stuck somewhere in the meanwhile
Do we cry in the car or gun the wheel
Chase the next thing till this stops feeling real
Chorus
We're runnin' on neon, runnin' on neon
Taillights bouncing off the wet street shine
Leavin' don't mean losin', we're just choosin'
A brighter door down the line
Runnin' on neon, runnin' on neon
Every ending's just a green light in disguise
Verse
Name tag in the glovebox, still says Junie
New horizon looks a little loony
But Wilder's laughing shotgun, feet on the dash
Counting up the tips like they're spare cash
Highway signs are blinking like a cash register bell
Every mile's a receipt for the story we'll tell
The old store's shrinking small in the mirror behind
But the sky up ahead's got a whole new sign
Pre-Chorus
So what do we do with a heart half packed
And a rearview mirror we can't look back
Do we hold the wheel or let the wind decide
Chase the next thing till we feel alive
Chorus
We're runnin' on neon, runnin' on neon
Taillights bouncing off the wet street shine
Leavin' don't mean losin', we're just choosin'
A brighter door down the line
Runnin' on neon, runnin' on neon
Every ending's just a green light in disguise
Bridge
Maybe the goodbye was just the spark
Maybe the closing time lit up the dark
I still miss the hum of the fluorescent glow
But I'm learning how to shine on my own
Chorus
We're runnin' on neon, runnin' on neon
Taillights bouncing off the wet street shine
Leavin' don't mean losin', we're just choosin'
A brighter door down the line
Runnin' on neon, runnin' on neon
Every ending's just a green light
Every ending's just a green light in disguise
