Yeah... I still remember that night... Like the neon never burned out... Denim jacket hanging off my shoulder Hair sprayed high, trying to look older You were laughing underneath the lights Jordache jeans fitting you just right Friday night in the shopping mall Summer air outside, but we forgot it all Walking slow past the record store glow Like nowhere else in the world existed anymore Sam Goody playing through the speakers Love songs making my heartbeat weaker You grabbed my hand, looked up at me Girl you felt like a movie scene Under the mall lights Everything felt alive Neon reflections dancing in your eyes Orange Julius and a midnight kiss God I wish the whole world still felt like this We were young hearts running wild Living forever for a little while And every time I close my eyes I go back... Under the mall lights Trying on jackets at The Limited You said “this one looks dangerous” I said “only if you're standing close” You smiled and leaned against my chest Arcade glowing down the hallway Pac-Man sounds and Street Fighter plays Your fingers wrapped around my arm Like you already knew my heart Quarter tokens in my blue jeans Synthesizers and pinball dreams You pulled me close beside the screen Like we were frozen in 1989 Under the mall lights Everything felt alive Neon reflections dancing in your eyes Orange Julius and a midnight kiss God I wish the whole world still felt like this We were young hearts running wild Living forever for a little while And every time I close my eyes I go back... Under the mall lights Now the stores are gone The arcade faded away But somewhere in my memory That night still plays You with your big hair blowing Walking underneath those signs And me praying silently That moment would never die Under the mall lights We were bigger than time Young enough to think love never dies Orange Julius and your hand in mine Like a photograph burned into my mind And though the years keep rolling by That summer night still survives Every lonely midnight drive Takes me back... Under the mall lights Yeah... Some nights never really end...
