Neon Heartbeat

Verse

Popsicle drip on the boardwalk stone,

Radio static through a borrowed phone,

Flip-flops slapping on the parking lot heat,

Firefly sparks tangled up in our feet.

Ferris wheel spinning gold against the blue,

Seventeen summers, and I'm stuck on you.

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the pavement humming low,

Every streetlight singing here we go?

Sun's not down but my chest's already lit,

Count to three and jump, don't overthink it.

Chorus

Neon heartbeat, glowing on my skin,

Sparklers in the dark, let the night begin.

Neon heartbeat, we're the ones who run,

Chasing every star until we catch the sun.

Verse

Cherry slush stains on your favorite tee,

Boombox rattling an old off-key,

Skateboard wheels on the cracked-up road,

We don't know where, we just want to go.

Fireworks crack like a heartbeat drum,

Nowhere to be till the morning comes.

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the pavement humming low,

Every streetlight singing here we go?

Sun's not down but my chest's already lit,

Count to three and jump, don't overthink it.

Chorus

Neon heartbeat, glowing on my skin,

Sparklers in the dark, let the night begin.

Neon heartbeat, we're the ones who run,

Chasing every star until we catch the sun.

Bridge

Someday we'll be older, chasing clocks instead,

But right now it's just this feeling in my head.

Freeze it like a Polaroid, keep it in my chest,

This is the only summer I'll ever love the best.

Chorus

Neon heartbeat, glowing on my skin,

Sparklers in the dark, let the night begin.

Neon heartbeat, we're the ones who run,

Chasing every star until we catch the sun.

Outro

Neon heartbeat, still beating in my chest,

Nineteen and neon, we were never meant to rest.
