[Verse 1] Late night, corner booth with coffee steam, Your jacket still smells like subway rain. You laugh and the city folds around us slow, Thumb tracing the rim of my chipped mug, hello. [Pre-Chorus ] Small acts map the way I follow, Words like soft elevator music low. Every look — a language I can borrow, And I feel the room begin to glow. [Chorus ] You pull me in like neon lights (you pull me in) Heartbeat riding every wire (underneath the sky) One touch and all the noise rewrites Neon sway — keep me in your light Neon sway — keep me in your light [Verse 2] You put on that worn-out mixtape from '09, We slow-dance by the oven's dying shine. Your thumb finds mine like it always knows the tune, There’s cigarette ash and honeyed perfume. [Pre-Chorus — turn] I used to whisper maybe, maybe later, Afraid the skyline might betray. Now the rumor turns into a favor: This close, I'm anchored — not afraid. [Chorus ] You pull me in like neon lights (you pull me in) Heartbeat riding every wire (underneath the sky) One touch and all the noise rewrites Neon sway — keep me in your light Neon sway — keep me in your light [Bridge ] Morning came with empty coffee cups, A quiet text: "I had to clear my head." Old ghosts press at the edges of our luck, I saw the fear, the shadow by the bed. But I remember how you say my name, How vinyl pops when your hand finds mine. So I promise loud, even if nights change: I won't let this neon fade this time. [Final Chorus — resolution] You pull me in like neon lights (pull me in) Heartbeat steady on the wire (steady now) One kiss and all the doubt unties Neon sway — stay in my light Neon sway — stay in my light Neon sway — stay, don't say goodbye [Outro ] City hum, the world reduces to two, Warm breath, the album plays on through. Neon sway — a small impossible truth: Hold me close, I'll hold you too.
