Underneath those neon lights come with me
Hello, it's me again
There's something that I want to say
I see you changed, oh well
But I don't really feel much different
We were cool back then
Let's do it again, do it right
Take me to a new
Been trying to forget, been trying to move on
'Cause it hurts when I think about it
But how can I forget?
Can you remember when you and
Me were more than friends?
Back in time, yeah
I just want to be there with you
One more time, yeah
Kiss me under neon lights how can I forget?
Can you remember when you and
Me were more than friends?
Back in time, yeah kiss me under neon lights
And yes, I know
This is just a love addiction
'Cause you look so good
That is just the way I like it
Been trying to forget, been trying to move on
'Cause it hurts when I think about it
But how can I forget?
Can you remember when you and
Me were more than friends?
Back in time, yeah
I just want to be there with you
One more time, yeah
Kiss me under neon lights how can I forget?
Can you remember when you and
Me were more than friends?
Back in time, yeah kiss me under neon lights
Hey Jake! Hey Annie!
Do you know that feeling when
You're dragging up the past?
Reliving old memories? Aha
And you know deep down that
He really isn't the one
But it all just felt so good i know that one

And I just wanna go there again
Underneath those neon lights
Wanna come with me? Sure Annie
Come on! Let's go!
Yeah back in time, yeah
Kiss me under neon lights
How could I forget?
Can you remember when you and
Me were more than friends?
Back in time, yeah kiss me under neon lights
The lyrics of "Neon Lights" by Annie feat. Jake Shears capture a longing to return to a past full of vibrant memories and special moments. The singer expresses a desire to go back in time, evoking the imagery of neon lights that symbolize excitement and nostalgia. This sense of yearning for the past is further emphasized as the singer reminisces about a previous connection with someone and reflects on the changes that have occurred since then.
The lyrics convey a bittersweet sentiment as the singer grapples with trying to forget and move on from a past relationship that still holds emotional weight. Despite the pain of reminiscing, there is a strong pull towards reliving those moments and recapturing the essence of a time when the relationship held more depth and meaning. The repetition of wanting to go back in time and be with the other person hints at a yearning for reconciliation or closure.
The chorus of the song underscores the theme of nostalgia and yearning for the past, as the singer longs to be back in a time when things felt right and romantic. The imagery of kissing under neon lights signifies a desire for intimacy and a return to a moment of connection that has stuck in the singer's memory. The question posed in the lyrics, "Can you remember when you and me were more than friends?" reflects a longing for a deeper connection that transcended mere friendship.
In the bridge of the song, there is a playful interaction between Annie and Jake, where they acknowledge the complex emotions involved in revisiting the past. The lyrics touch on the conflicting feelings of nostalgia and the realization that certain memories may be idealized or not entirely reflective of reality. Despite this awareness, there is still a strong impulse to embrace the past and rediscover the magic of being together under the neon lights. The song captures a mix of emotions, from longing and regret to a sense of acceptance and the willingness to explore the depths of past relationships.

Greetings to Jake and Annie
Do you know that feeling when
Are you familiar with that sensation?
You're dragging up the past?
You're reminiscing about history?
Reliving old memories? Aha
Revisiting past experiences, indeed
And you know deep down that
You're aware internally that
He really isn't the one
He's not the right person
But it all just felt so good i know that one
Yet everything felt wonderful, I understand that feeling
This is that feeling
This is the sentiment
And I just wanna go there again
I desire to return to that place
Wanna come with me? Sure Annie
Would you like to accompany me? Of course, Annie
Come on! Let's go!
Let's embark on this journey!
