Neon Yearbook Dreams

Flipping through old yearbooks under neon light

Smiling at the names that used to feel so bright

Moonlight shining like a half-remembered dream

We were running to the dusk, always seventeen

Every page a ton, the years come lashing back

Little paper-ton machines on a worn-out track

And we'll try to look

So red for the world

But our hearts were still just venom like a pearl

Oh, we grew up too fast in the late night glow

With our hands full of glitter and nowhere to go

Under moonlight, we were chasing the spark

Now the photo's fading, but it's still his heart

Oh, we grew up

Too fast, and I still believe

Some part of that summer's still around me

Sticker in the locker, cracked phone in your hand

Promises written in the margin of a plan

Every hallway echo feels a little like goodbye

But I can see you laughing when I close my eyes

Every page I turn, the years come rushing back

Little paper time machines on a worn-out track

We were trying to look so many for the world

But our hearts were still just spinning like a pearl

Oh, we grew up too fast in the late night glow

With our hands full of glitter and nowhere to go

Under moonlight, we were chasing the spark

Now the photo's fading, but it still hits hard

Oh, we grew up too fast, and I still believe

Some part of that summer's still alive in me

If I could full-time knock into my pocket

I'd keep the falling stars in the unmarked kit

But the past is just a song that won't stay still

So I sing it in the dark and I always will

Only grew up too fast, the night might glow

With our hands full of glitter and nowhere to go

Under moonlight's blue shades in the spark

Now the fool is waiting, but it's still his heart

Oh, we grew up too fast, and I still believe

Some part of that summer's still alive in me, yeah

Some part of that summer's

Still alive in me
