Neon Slushie Blue

[Intro]
[Verse]
The neon light flickers low
I'm watching the traffic go
Blue slushie in a paper cup
Wait for the world to wake up
(Mumbled: Is it four AM already?)
I'm feeling kind of heavy
[Pre-Chorus]
Crumpled tickets on the tray
Wishing you would look my way
Scanning for a pack of mints
Giving me those little hints
[Chorus]
Oh, we almost said hello
In the grocery glow
Static on the radio
Where did all the seconds go?
Just a ghost in the aisle
Chasing that lopsided smile
[Post-Chorus]
Blue raspberry on my tongue
Songs we haven't even sung
Spinning like a cassette tape
Trying to find a sweet escape
[Verse]
Laundromat hums through the wall
Waiting for a sudden call
You had glitter on your sleeve
Why’d you have to leave?
(Mumbled: I think you dropped your change)
The world feels out of range
[Chorus]
Oh, we almost said hello
In the grocery glow
Static on the radio
Where did all the seconds go?
Just a ghost in the aisle
Chasing that lopsided smile
[Bridge]
Sugar rush and silver coins
Where the lonely spirit joins
Looking for a lucky break
Counting every small mistake
Xylophone rings in my head
Words I should have said
[Verse]
The freezer hums a hollow tune
Underneath a plastic moon
You were checking out the chips
Smile playing on your lips
I was paralyzed by the light
In the middle of the night
[Chorus]
Oh, we almost said hello
In the grocery glow
Static on the radio
Where did all the seconds go?
Just a ghost in the aisle
Chasing that lopsided smile
[Post-Chorus]
Blue raspberry on my tongue
Songs we haven't even sung
Spinning like a cassette tape
Trying to find a sweet escape
[Outro]
