Rain on the highway Neon ghosts in the glass One name burning From the long-gone past Two girls dreaming under buzzing lights Scissors snapping through summer nights Ink and laughter, a rebel vow “We’ll build a place they can’t shut down” But power smiles in a mayor’s suit Paper chains and a polished boot He said “That girl’s not right in the head” So Laura ran while Kayla fled Years of roads and empty rooms One promise cutting through the gloom Every mile that broke my bones Every night I walked alone Every town I searched in vain For your fire in the rain If love survives the scars and years It’s waiting somewhere past my fears One light calling through the storm Still burning over Kayla’s door Pink hair laughing in a diner booth Fries and coffee and a mouth full of truth She said “Girl you look like a storm with legs Who the hell you chasing next?” I said a name I never lost She said “Then screw the damn cost We’ll find your ghost in every town Till that neon sign comes blazing out” Two misfits chasing a distant flame One stubborn heart and a borrowed name Every mile that broke my bones Every night I walked alone Every road that felt insane Led me back to you again If love survives the scars and years It’s louder than the mayor’s fears One light cutting through the storm Still burning over Kayla’s door [half-time drums, violin cutting sharp] Sarah laughs in Monday's booth Says “Relax, the world ain’t doomed” While Laura walks through pouring rain Toward a sign she prayed remained Neon flickers in the night Four old letters glowing bright Every mile that broke my bones Every road that led me home Every promise I kept alive Brought me here tonight If hope survived the years apart It’s beating in this battered heart One light blazing through the storm Still burning over Kayla’s door Rain slows Laura breathes Hand on the door…
