Chasing Gold in Neon Rain (Version 2)

Verse

Neon spilling off the dashboard heat

Counting cities we're gonna miss repeat

Radio static where our names used to be

Tonight's map folded up inside my sleeve

Six a.m. headlights cutting through the haze

Fingers tracing every mile, every phase

You said forever like it was a road we'd own

Not some sunset fading into tomorrow alone

Pre-Chorus

So what if gold turns back to gray by dawn?

What if this is all we have before it's gone?

We can still drive the light while it lasts tonight

Hold my hand and make the whole sky turn white

Chorus

Chasing gold in neon rain

Running wild, we're gonna break the frame

Tonight or never, I won't say goodbye again

Chasing gold in neon rain

Verse

Concrete's warm beneath our shoes like it still remembers you

Every streetlight blinking out a different truth

You pulled my sleeve and said let's just pretend

This whole block is ours, nobody's looking back again

Your jacket wrapped around me like a promise we can't keep

Windows down so the music swallows every secret we speak

The sky above us turning purple, turning gray

We're still dancing anyway, like it's the last day of our lives

Pre-Chorus

So what if gold turns back to gray by dawn?

What if this is all we have before it's gone?

We can still drive the light while it lasts tonight

Hold my hand and make the whole sky turn white

Chorus

Chasing gold in neon rain

Running wild, we're gonna break the frame

Tonight or never, I won't say goodbye again

Chasing gold in neon rain

Bridge

Maybe tomorrow we'll just be shadows of ourselves

Maybe forever was always a road that nobody else can help us find

But right here, right now, your hand on my waist is all I need

To turn this whole city into one more reason to believe

Chorus

Chasing gold in neon rain

Running wild, we're gonna break the frame

Tonight or never, I won't say goodbye again

Chasing gold in neon rain

Outro

Hold my hand and make the whole sky turn white

We chase it till it fades to gray
