Neon Pulse 5

Verse

Neon pulse on the collarbone of my neck

Ferris wheel creaks like a dying chest

Your palm is shaking where it meets

Chain-link fence torn open and we don't run

The whole city's waiting for us to give in

Sirens rising into one long hum

I keep your hand up high above the crowd

Every firefly on this darkening road goes out

City lights turn silver on your teeth and skin

And I know right here is where it starts again

Pre-Chorus

Tell me you don't hear that same drum beating

In every vein of yours, in every vein of mine

We're just two sparks but we don't need a reason

To light up the whole town tonight

Chorus

Neon pulse on the collarbone of my neck

Burning down to nothing at all

Skin turns silver underneath the lights that check

Every firefly that's falling off and free at last

Neon pulse on the collarbone of my neck

We're burning up into the dark above

Hands up, open wide, nobody's looking back at us now

Verse

Tires screech where the asphalt turns to dust

You say 'run' but I don't hear a thing yet

Sirens fade to just one long rustle and hum

Your eyes go gold when the city goes blue

Chain-link fence is nothing we can't climb now

Every shadow on this rooftop starts to move

I press your wrist up high against my chest where it's warm

And I know right here, right now, that's all there ever is

Pre-Chorus

Tell me you don't hear that same drum beating

In every vein of yours, in every vein of mine

We're just two sparks but we don't need a reason

To light up the whole town tonight

Chorus

Neon pulse on the collarbone of my neck

Burning down to nothing at all

Skin turns silver underneath the lights that check

Every firefly that's falling off and free at last

Neon pulse on the collarbone of my neck

We're burning up into the dark above

Hands up, open wide, nobody's looking back at us now

Bridge

Maybe it doesn't matter who we used to be

Maybe this is all that ever sets us free

I don't need a reason when I'm holding you like this

I don't need an end when every step feels just like the start of something

Chorus

Neon pulse on the collarbone of my neck

Burning down to nothing at all

Skin turns silver underneath the lights that check

Every firefly that's falling off and free at last

Neon pulse on the collarbone of my neck

We're burning up into the dark above

Hands up, open wide, nobody's looking back at us now
