Under My Skin

Wet pavement shining under streetlight glow Cigarette burning down, nowhere to go You dissolved again into someone’s voice Like I never really had a choice Headlights cutting through faceless nights I walk these streets like a dream in lights Neon under my skin Burning quiet within You’re a city in me That never sleeps, never ends I try to let you go But you live in my bones Neon under my skin And I’m never alone Shadows crawling across the glass Erasing all the paths I pass I’m losing myself as the minutes run While time keeps saying we’re undone Music pounding against my chest Everybody’s running, but not to love, not to rest Neon under my skin Burning quiet within You’re a city in me That never sleeps, never ends I try to let you go But you live in my bones Neon under my skin And I’m never alone Blue windows, cold concrete air I left my heart somewhere in there Between the towers, steel and smoke Where every memory we had broke And if tomorrow we don’t exist This smoke will hold our final glimpse Neon under my skin Burning loud from within I’m trying to forget But you’re here again
