Neon Bones

[Verse 1]

Half-smile

Chewing on a broken thought

Black boots tapping on the yellow line

You said

“You ever feel like you’re out of time?”

Three a.m

Drive-thru coffee stain

Laughing like we didn’t have a file of pain

You traced scars on your denim knees

Said

“I only feel alive when it’s hard to breathe”

[Pre-Chorus]

You said

“Promise you’ll stay ‘til I’m done”

I said

“I don’t make deals with the sun” (nah)

We were both so sure we were wrong

Still we sang along

[Chorus]

We are neon bones in a blackout town

Flicker when they try to shut us down

Keep your curses

Paint them on my skin

If it hurts like hell

Then I know I’m in

We are neon bones

Yeah we buzz

We burn

Every wrong turn still helps me learn

If the sky falls down

Let it crash

Let it glow

We’re just neon bones

Too bright to let go (oh)

[Verse 2]

Bathroom mirror with the words you wrote

Lipstick letters on a cracked white throat

“Trust is just a dare in disguise”

You rinsed it down

But it stayed in your eyes

We danced circles in a dead-end street

Phone light halo and your bare cold feet

You said

“If this is all

It’s still enough”

I said

“I only break on the sharpest love”

[Pre-Chorus]

You said

You said

“If this is all

It’s still enough”

I said

“I only break on the sharpest love”

[Pre-Chorus]

You said

“Swear you won’t fade when I fade”

I said

“I’m not a ghost you can trade” (no)

Every promise carved in our phones

Still we felt alone

[Chorus]

We are neon bones in a blackout town

Flicker when they try to shut us down

Keep your curses

Paint them on my skin

If it hurts like hell

Then I know I’m in

We are neon bones

Yeah we buzz

We burn

Every wrong turn still helps me learn

If the sky falls down

Let it crash

Let it glow

We’re just neon bones

Too bright to let go

[Bridge]

Tell me

Are we brave or just bored?

Are we blessed or just ignored?

You said

“Love’s a loaded chord”

Then you struck it

Struck it

Now my chest hums like a fault line

Waiting for your call at the worst time

If we blow apart in the headline

At least we lit the night

[Chorus]

We are neon bones in a blackout town

Flicker when they try to shut us down

Keep your curses

Paint them on my skin

If it hurts like hell

Then I know I’m in

We are neon bones

Yeah we buzz

We burn

Every wrong turn still helps me learn

If the sky falls down

Let it crash

Let it glow

We’re just neon bones

Too bright to let go (too bright)

We’re just neon bones

Yeah you already know
