Chasing the Neon Dawn

Verse

Four a.m. and the diner sign still hums

Empty booth, cold coffee on my thumb

Taillights bleed into a violet haze

I count the hours like they're borrowed days

Your jacket's folded on the passenger seat

Still smells like smoke and the summer street

Pre-Chorus

So what if the sun comes up too soon

What if the night forgets this room

Can I keep one spark before it's gone

Chorus

I'm chasing the neon dawn

Holding this glow till the feeling's gone

Wild little heartbeat, don't you fade too fast

Paint the sky gold before the moment's past

I'm chasing the neon dawn

Verse

Highway markers count the miles we lose

Radio static, an old love tune

You laugh like the world could wait a while

I'm memorizing every crooked smile

The horizon's cracking open, amber thin

This is where the letting go begins

Pre-Chorus

So what if the sun comes up too soon

What if the night forgets this room

Can I keep one spark before it's gone

Chorus

I'm chasing the neon dawn

Holding this glow till the feeling's gone

Wild little heartbeat, don't you fade too fast

Paint the sky gold before the moment's past

I'm chasing the neon dawn

Bridge

Maybe some lights aren't meant to stay

Maybe I'm learning to love the fade

Still I'll run until the color's gone

Just to say I chased the dawn

Chorus

I'm chasing the neon dawn

Holding this glow till the feeling's gone

Wild little heartbeat, don't you fade too fast

Paint the sky gold before the moment's past

I'm chasing the neon dawn

Outro

Gold on the water, gone by nine

Still I'll carry this the rest of my life
