Neon on My Skin

Meet me on the corner Neon hiding in my hair After rain and a vending hum You laugh and I give in And maybe You don’t really have to love me Just stay until the first train Oh I like it when you tilt your head Like the midnight wants to play Oh I like it when you miss your train Let the quiet stay Will you meet me on the corner? Neon purring in the street ⸻ Shadows moving slowly Taxi lights stripe and glide Plastic umbrellas lean and listen We feel small and bright And maybe We don’t need another reason Just drift into this season Oh I like it when you walk that slow Like the city holds our handzs Oh I like it when you talk that low Every word is soft and warm Will you meet me on the corner? Where the night forgets its plans ⸻ Empty cans beside the shutters Morning chime begins to yawn If tomorrow never finds us We will still be moving on And maybe We were only ever fleeting But I like the way it’s easy Oh I like it when you glow like this Like a spark that wants to stay Oh I like it when we end like this We just wave and drift away Will you meet me on the corner? One more time before the day
