Lyrics

Verse 1

It's way past midnight now

City lights like an ocean far below

Your perfume still lingers in the car

But your seat is empty, throat's getting tight

They say time heals everything

But this wound opens up with every drop of rain

Pre-Chorus

I'm speeding with no destination

Maybe the velocity could tear me away from you

But your eyes keep watching me in the rearview mirror...

Chorus

I'm just a neon ghost, baby

Nothing but a memory that won't let you go

My heart's made of glass, but it won't shatter

In this laser light, we stay forever young

Just breathe tonight, don't be scared

Let this toxic love lift us higher...

Verse 2

Remember dancing under the moonlight?

White sneakers and our hair in the wind

Now I'm alone in this glass tower

Telling the skyline "make me feel better"

In this empty king-sized bed

Even the stars look artificial now

Pre-Chorus

I close my eyes, I can hear my heartbeat

It still sounds like your voice echoing in my chest

But when I turn around, it's just silence...

Chorus

We're just neon ghosts, baby (oh, yeah)

A handful of memories that won't let you go

My heart's made of glass, but it won't shatter (won't shatter)

In this laser light, we stay forever young

Just breathe tonight, don't be scared (don't be scared)

Let this toxic love lift us higher...

Bridge

If the world ends tonight

If this is our very last dance

Let us drown in the light

Fade away and disappear...

Outro

Raindrops on the car roof

Whispering your name one by one

Pink streetlights, wet asphalt

Maybe I'll find you someday... maybe never...
