Boys clothes money
[Verse 1]
2 AM on the 405
Watching the static come alive
We were chasing shadows, building fire out of rain
Just to feel something other than the pain
You had your hand out the window, catching the wind
Wondering where the hell we even begin
To unpack the weight of a summer gone cold
And the stories we promised would never be told
[Pre-Chorus]
I feel the rhythm in the dashboard light
Everything's heavy but it’s feeling alright
One more mile and we’re breaking the seal
Searching for something that finally feels real
[Chorus]
Oh, we’re living in the neon afterglow
Holding on to things we should let go
Like a melody that’s stuck inside my head
Chasing all the words we never said
Yeah, we’re burning bright before we fade away
Between the midnight and the break of day
In the neon afterglow
We’ve got nowhere left to go
[Verse 2]
Your silhouette is a ghost in the seat
Echoing the tempo of the city beat
We used to talk about the 'someday' plans
Now we’re just shaking with empty hands
I see the exit signs flashing in blue
Reminding me of everything I lost in you
But for a second, when the light hits right
You’re the only thing shining in the night
[Bridge]
Don't slow down, don't look back
We’re the only spark on a one-way track
Turn it up loud till the speakers cry
Let the ghosts of the past say their last goodbye
[Chorus]
Oh, we’re living in the neon afterglow
Holding on to things we should let go
Like a melody that’s stuck inside my head
Chasing all the words we never said
Yeah, we’re burning bright before we fade away
Between the midnight and the break of day
In the neon afterglow
We’ve got nowhere left to go
[Outro]
Nowhere left to go
Just the neon afterglow
Let it burn, let it glow
(Neon afterglow)
Fade to black.
