[verse 1] First light on your shoulder, laughter in the air Every street felt golden, just because you were there Hands found each other like they always knew the way Every word we spoke felt like the right thing to say [pre-chorus] Time was a fever we couldn’t slow down Every glance lit sparks all over this town [chorus] We were fire under neon, wild and alive Every kiss a promise we’d never survive If love was lightning, we took the strike And for a while, oh, we burned so bright [verse 2] Your smile pulled the night into endless blue Every song on the radio sounded like you We danced on the edge like it would never break Took every risk just for the thrill we’d take [pre-chorus] Time was a fever we couldn’t slow down Every glance lit sparks all over this town [chorus] We were fire under neon, wild and alive Every kiss a promise we’d never survive If love was lightning, we took the strike And for a while, oh, we burned so bright [bridge] But the thing about a blaze is it needs more fuel And the thing about love is it can turn cruel [final chorus / twist] Now I watch you in my memory, wild and alive Every kiss still a promise we didn’t survive If love was lightning, we felt the strike But in the dark after, there’s no more light [end]
