[Intro — Voice 4, airy] Blue neon on the ceiling Your shadow at the door [Verse 1 — Voice 1] You left your key beside the window Still warm from where your fingers turned You placed the photograph face downward Like paper cannot watch us burn [Voice 2] Taxi light, second hand Rain against the glass You say forever like a word That already knows the past [Pre-Chorus — Voice 5] I could ask you not to leave I could make the old confession But love should not become a plea Repeated out of desperation [Chorus — Voice 3] Give me blue neon mercy Make the ending soft and slow Do not promise you will call me If you already know you won’t Give me blue neon mercy Let the silence tell the truth I would rather lose you honestly Than keep a borrowed version of you [Verse 2 — Voices 2 and 1] [Voice 2] You touch the table with your thumb The little habit I remembered [Voice 1] Outside, the city starts to hum Like wires waking under pressure [Voice 5] We were beautiful in motion Terrible whenever we stood still [Voice 4] Every kiss became an ocean Every future bent to will [Bridge — Voice 4, nearly alone] Leave the key beside the doorway Leave the picture where it lies We do not need a final courtroom We do not need a final lie I will love the part that mattered Without asking it to stay [Final Chorus — all enter separately] [Voice 1] Give me blue neon mercy [Voice 2] Let me watch you cross the room [Voice 3] Let the door close like a sentence [Voice 4] Not an unexpected wound [Voice 5] Morning turns the blue to white [All] You were real You were not forever Both of those can still be right ---
