[Verse 1] We rode the long way home Windows full of rain Your laugh in the dashboard glow Still calls my name The corner store was shut But the signs stayed awake We bought a pack of nothing For old time's sake [Pre-Chorus] And the world moved slow Like it knew our names I kept your shadow In the seam of the frame [Chorus] Late nights, neon lights (hold on, hold on) Late nights, neon lights (hold on, hold on) We were alive in the blur We were a spark in the hurt Late nights, neon lights (hold on, hold on) [Verse 2] My jacket smelled like smoke And your hair smelled like June We talked in broken circles Till the hours ran through A siren washed the block Then it drifted away You said, "Don't let it end here" Like you knew I'd stay [Pre-Chorus] And the world moved slow Like it knew our names I kept your shadow In the seam of the frame [Chorus] Late nights, neon lights (hold on, hold on) Late nights, neon lights (hold on, hold on) We were alive in the blur We were a spark in the hurt Late nights, neon lights (hold on, hold on) [Bridge] [Half-time, guitars widening] If I close my eyes I'm back at that curb Your hand on the wheel My heart in the burn The road still sings What we never said A thousand small ghosts In the red overhead [Chorus] Late nights, neon lights (hold on, hold on) Late nights, neon lights (hold on, hold on) We were alive in the blur We were a spark in the hurt Late nights, neon lights (hold on, hold on) [Outro] Still see your face In the glass when it rains Still hear us laughing Through the static and the haze
