Killian’s Red (named after the Irish lager, or rather a neon sign for it which decorate’s the song’s setting) paints a dramatic and vivid scene of a man who has given up on waiting for an old relation of his to show up at the bar they’ve met at before.

[Pre-Chorus]
We'll go on vacation, tonight
Under a sun of neon light
And I almost love this town
When I'm by your side, side

You woke me from a long sleep
And I'm almost back

If I told you the truth
You wouldn't like what I said
I almost believed I was dead
There'll be no more waiting
You're gonna melt all the ice in my head
There'll be no more crying
You're gonna make it all better, instead

[Bridge]
I get secrets at night
But they don't stay
I get secrets at night
But they go away
[Pre-Chorus]
We'll go on vacation, tonight
Under a sun of neon light
And I almost love this town
When I'm by your side, side
[Chorus]
You woke me from a long sleep
And I'm almost back
Closer than ever

There'll be no more waiting
You're gonna melt all the ice in my head
There'll be no more crying
You're gonna make it all better, instead
