Neon Summer

Songtext

[Verse 1] Midnight falling on the boulevard Radio playing while we chase the stars Your hair was dancing in the ocean breeze You turned around and smiled at me Streetlights glowing on your sun-kissed skin We had no ending, only where we'd been The whole world waited somewhere down the road Two wild hearts with nowhere else to go [Pre-Chorus] Every mile, every night Burned forever in those city lights Close my eyes and I still see That summer coming back to me [Chorus] Neon summer, take me back tonight Where the ocean met the city lights We were young, we were running free Neon summer, you still live in me Neon summer, underneath the stars Making promises inside that car Years have gone, but I still believe Neon summer, you still live in me [Verse 2] Cheap sunglasses and a motel room Dancing barefoot to our favorite tune We wrote our names into the midnight sand Like time would never change our plans Morning painted everything in gold You said, “Remember me when we get old” I laughed and told you we would never change Funny how the years can rearrange [Pre-Chorus] Every kiss, every sound Every memory keeps coming around Close my eyes and suddenly You're right there next to me [Chorus] Neon summer, take me back tonight Where the ocean met the city lights We were young, we were running free Neon summer, you still live in me Neon summer, underneath the stars Making promises inside that car Years have gone, but I still believe Neon summer, you still live in me [Bridge] Maybe somewhere you're remembering too That red horizon and the things we'd do And when an old song plays on the radio I wonder if you ever let me go Oh, I can hear that highway calling Feel the warm night on my skin For a moment time stops moving And we're eighteen again [Final Chorus] Neon summer, take me back tonight Where the ocean met the city lights We were young, we were running free Neon summer, you still live in me Neon summer, burning bright and blue Every road still leads me back to you Though the years took everything away My neon summer never fades [Outro] Neon summer Those endless nights Neon summer Those city lights Wherever you are Wherever you've been Turn up the radio And take me back again
