Neon on Empty Pages (Version 2)

Verse

Gas station neon humming through the glass

Your name scribbled in blue by the payphone light

Fog rolls soft across the parking lot line

Engine ticking warm at quarter past three tonight

Pre-Chorus

Do you ever feel it crawling under your skin?

This old beat that never gives us up again

Chorus

Neon on empty pages, neon on empty pages

We're the last ones moving when the lights go grey

Hands up high like we don't know better

Neon on empty pages, running away till the sun comes through

Verse 2

Your thumb on my wrist where the tattoo glows

Rust and static breathing out the speakers low

Windows down so the bassline crawls inside

Six a.m. turning yellow all along the street

Pre-Chorus

Do you ever feel it crawling under your skin?

This old beat that never gives us up again

Chorus

Neon on empty pages, neon on empty pages

We're the last ones moving when the lights go grey

Hands up high like we don't know better

Neon on empty pages, running away till the sun comes through

Bridge

Hold my hand so hard it's a crime

Static in our palms and a thousand mile of time

Every ending is just another door

This old rhythm wants nothing but more

Outro

Neon fades soft to silver light

Empty pages burning into daylight
