Neon Confessions
Nick Kalpakis
[Verse 1]
City breathing through the window pane
Red lights dancing in the pouring rain
Your name buzzing on my phone again
I should let it fade, but I won’t
Silk sheets, shadows on the wall
We don’t talk, we just let it fall
Every truth hidden in alcohol
I know better, still I’m gone
[Pre-Chorus]
I been running from the daylight
Living only when it’s midnight
Every promise feels so empty
When you’re gone
[Chorus]
I love you when the lights are low
When the lies feel comfortable
In the dark, I lose control
You’re my heaven and my hell
I touch you like I’m out of time
Say your name like it’s a crime
Every hit just keeps me close
I love you most when I’m alone
[Verse 2]
Gold frames hiding tired eyes
Mirror shows me all my lies
I buy peace but it won’t stay
It just burns and fades away
We don’t heal, we just pretend
Same mistakes again and again
You say leave, then pull me in
Skin on skin, here we go
[Pre-Chorus]
I been numb for way too long
Singing pain into these songs
If I’m wrong, then let me be
Wrong with you
[Chorus]
I love you when the lights are low
When the lies feel comfortable
In the dark, I lose control
You’re my heaven and my hell
I touch you like I’m out of time
Say your name like it’s a crime
Every hit just keeps me close
I love you most when I’m alone
[Bridge]
Tell me I’m the only one
Even if it’s just for fun
I don’t need the truth tonight
Just stay
If this love is poison, pour it slow
I’d rather feel it than let you go
Neon sins in afterglow
I know… I know…
[Final Chorus]
I love you when the world’s asleep
When it’s just your body on me
Every scar you help me keep
I don’t wanna be healed
I touch you like I’m out of time
Say your name like it’s a crime
If this pain is all I know
Then don’t let go
[Outro]
Sunrise creeping through the blinds
Another secret I can’t hide
If I lose myself tonight
At least I felt you
