Neon Lights
shadows rise and fall and I see the reality
clattering in the silence of my serenity
tonight we lay together under the flash of neon lights
tomorrow I am miles away, living a different lie
I felt it in my spirit and I felt it in my soul
but you didn't feel it all and it left this gaping hole
in my dreams you're not here and I toss and turn all night
my heart soars and then it crashes like the mighty Phoenix
from the ashes resurrected but none of the fences mended
that last little piece of my soul, the one that you left whole
sometimes friends, sometimes lovers the only role I know
I can be with you tonight or as long as you can stay
yesterday was just a day...long since faded away
all of the photos taken, show us smiling in black and white
you pick and choose, make all the rules while I drift with the tide
tonight we lay together under the flash of neon lights
tomorrow I am miles away, living a different lie
