Neon Lights

You say you love me you need me
You say it’s over you’ll leave me
Then you come crawling back
On your scuffed up knees
Like you aren’t sucking up
I don't remember intruding
On your emotional bruising
Just for persistence sake
Do you mind at all?
I won’t take this fall

I’m seeing
Neon lights across my room
And under my skin roses bloom
It aches when it gets warm and I
Can’t stay awake through one more empty night
I tried to walk away
But nothing else that you can say
Can change my mind
I’m tired of avoiding neon lights

I sleep ‘till 10 in the morning
Awake ‘till 7 and 40
I never want you back
When I’m half asleep
Unless I’m slipping up
I wear my jeans in the summer
With all my life hidden under
I never used to cry
About two time heat
And now I’m slipping up

I’m seeing
Neon lights across my room
And under my skin roses bloom
It aches when it gets warm and I
Can’t stay awake through one more empty night
I tried to walk away
But nothing else that you can say
Can change my mind
I’m tired of avoiding neon lights

Big cities are like panic attacks
Big cities are like panic attacks
Big windows and big railroad tracks
Big water and I’m anaphylactic

I’m seeing
Neon lights across my room
And under my skin roses bloom
It aches when it gets warm and I
Can’t stay awake through one more empty night
I tried to walk away
But nothing else that you can say
Can change my mind
I’m tired of avoiding neon lights
