[Verse 1]
Midnight shadows dancing on the wall
I’m waiting for a ghost to call
I see your face in every passing car
Wondering exactly where you are
The rain is falling like a cold regret
On a love I haven’t finished yet…
[Pre-Chorus]
The clock is ticking on the shelf
I’m just a stranger to myself
Searching for a reason to hold on
To a dream that’s almost gone.
[Chorus]
And I’m crying in the neon, baby
Walking through the rain
Looking for a spark of light
To wash away the pain
In the glow of the city lights
I’m still reaching for you tonight
Yeah, I’m crying in the neon.
[Verse 2]
I remember how we used to shine
When your heartbeat echoed next to mine
But the gold has faded into grey
And the words we spoke have slipped away
Now I’m standing on the edge of “nevermore”
Outside your locked and bolted door.
[Chorus]
And I’m crying in the neon, baby
Walking through the rain
Looking for a spark of light
To wash away the pain
In the glow of the city lights
I’m still reaching for you tonight
Yeah, I’m crying in the neon.
[Bridge]
Is it too late to turn the page?
Or are we just actors on a lonely stage?
[High vocal scream: “Tell me why!”]
[Chorus]
And I’m crying in the neon, baby
Walking through the rain
Looking for a spark of light
To wash away the pain
In the glow of the city lights
I’m still reaching for you tonight
Yeah, I’m crying in the neon.
[Outro]
In the neon…
(Crying in the rain)
So lonely…
