Lyrics

Met you on a Friday, downtown L.A.
Golden eyes, reckless smile, pulled me your way
Dancing through the static of a midnight dream
City lights flicker like a movie scene

Oh, we were running, hearts were wild
Spinning like records in the back of your ride
You said, *"Baby, don’t you ever look behind"*
But I knew, I knew…

Neon lights and promises we couldn't keep
Chasing highs in the night, lost in your heartbeat
We were fire, we were gold, we were seventeen
But love burns out where the neon lights gleam

Fast lane, love game, thought we’d never lose
Holding hands, making plans, like we had a clue
But echoes fade, and so did we
Now your name’s just a song playing back at me

Oh, we were running, hearts were wild
Spinning like records in the back of your ride
You said, *"Baby, don’t you ever look behind"*
But I knew, I knew…

Neon lights and promises we couldn't keep
Chasing highs in the night, lost in your heartbeat
We were fire, we were gold, we were seventeen
But love burns out where the neon lights gleam

Now I drive past that boulevard where we kissed
Your ghost in the rearview, a love I still miss
But darling, some stories aren’t meant to stay
Like the glow of the neon that fades away

Neon lights and promises we couldn't keep
(We were fire, we were gold, we were seventeen…)
Chasing highs in the night, lost in your heartbeat
But love burns out where the neon lights gleam
