Saltwater Neon

[Intro]
[Verse]
Parked the car by the pier
Wiped away a single tear
No one knows that I’m here
Keep it quiet, keep it clear
Fog is rolling off the bay
Turned my back on yesterday
Sneaking through the back street
Running on a steady beat
[Pre-Chorus]
Neon lights begin to flicker
Heart is beating a little quicker
I can smell the salt and gin
Ready for the night to begin
Watch the shadows start to fade
In this wild masquerade
[Chorus]
Dance until the sun comes up
Pour the fire in my cup
I’m moving faster than the ghost
Of the boy I loved the most
Let the rhythm take the floor
I don’t need him anymore
Watch me burn, watch me shine
This broken heart is finally mine
[Post-Chorus]
(Ooh, ooh) Saltwater neon
(Ooh, ooh) Something to lean on
I’m dancing, I’m dancing
(Yeah, I’m dancing)
(Ooh, ooh) Saltwater neon
(Ooh, ooh) Something to lean on
[Verse]
Found that dive on Fourth and Main
Washing out the winter rain
Same old songs on the machine
I’m the ghost in the machine
Saw my name carved in the wood
Did the things I said I would
Glitter on my tired eyes
Underneath the coastal skies
[Pre-Chorus]
Strings are screaming in the air
Hands are flying through my hair
Feel the bass inside my bones
Better than those dial tones
Watch the shadows start to fade
In this wild masquerade
[Chorus]
Dance until the sun comes up
Pour the fire in my cup
I’m moving faster than the ghost
Of the boy I loved the most
Let the rhythm take the floor
I don’t need him anymore
Watch me burn, watch me shine
This broken heart is finally mine
[Bridge]
I’m not the girl who left this town
I’m not the one who’s breaking down
The boardwalk’s shaking under me
I’m finally wild, I’m finally free
Let the morning light arrive
I’ve never felt so damn alive
(So damn alive!)
[Drop]
(Heavy synth plucks and string stabs)
(Belting ad-libs: "Yeah!", "I'm free!")
[Chorus]
Dance until the sun comes up
Pour the fire in my cup
I’m moving faster than the ghost
Of the boy I loved the most
Let the rhythm take the floor
I don’t need him anymore
Watch me burn, watch me shine
This broken heart is finally mine
[Post-Chorus]
(Ooh, ooh) Saltwater neon
(Ooh, ooh) Something to lean on
I’m dancing, I’m dancing
(Yeah, I’m dancing)
(Ooh, ooh) Saltwater neon
(Ooh, ooh) Something to lean on
[Outro]
