Convenience Store Halo

[Verse 1] Fluorescent little heaven On the corner of too late Sugar moon in plastic wrapping Silver humming by the gates You know the shape of my weather I know the salt you choose Two soft disasters glowing In the blue-white after-two You laugh like loose change falling I grin like I’ve been caught We make a church of bad ideas And buy more than we thought [Pre-Chorus] The city keeps its teeth out The night leans on the glass But you tilt your tired face up And the whole thing almost passes [Chorus] Convenience store halo Gold around the ache We’re holy in the snack aisle With our little getaway Convenience store halo Neon on your skin I know what you reach for When the dark comes creeping in [Verse 2] I don’t ask the heavy question When your quiet starts to bloom I just orbit soft beside you Through the artificial moon There’s a sweetness I remember There’s a flavor you call home There’s a bag of tiny stars And a silence not alone I could be a storm for you But tonight I stay a spark Loud enough to make you smile Soft enough to guard the dark [Pre-Chorus] The city keeps on blinking Like it knows but won’t confess We’re just two little fugitives Making light out of the mess [Chorus] Convenience store halo Gold around the ache We’re holy in the snack aisle With our little getaway Convenience store halo Neon on your skin I know what you reach for When the dark comes creeping in [Bridge] If you need the quiet, I’ll hold it If you need the noise, I’ll glow I can turn a broken midnight Into somewhere we can go You don’t have to be brilliant You don’t have to be brave I’ll love you in the flicker I’ll find you in the strange [Final Chorus] Convenience store halo Gold around the ache We’re laughing in the snack aisle Like the dark forgot our names Convenience store halo Neon on your skin I know what you reach for When the dark comes creeping in [Outro] Fluorescent little heaven On the corner of too late Two soft disasters glowing In our tiny getaway
