Neon Lights
LODATO Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ain′t it better
Late then never
Empty words
Won't hurt forever
So let′s start over
A new adventure
Can we wake it up
Now I know I need you

No staying up late
Moments don't fade
I'll never get over us
Don′t hide in the shade
You won′t have to face the dark

I'm asking you to stay with me tonight
Don′t go home cause my tears won't dry
Beneath the neon lights
I see the reflection in your eyes
Won′t you give me the kiss of life
Baby you and I
Beneath the neon lights

(Baby you and I, baby you and I)
Baby you and I
Beneath the neon lights
(Baby you and I, baby you and I)
Baby you and I
Beneath the neon lights

Ain't it better
Late then never
Empty words
Won′t hurt forever




So let's start over
A new adventure
Can we wake it up
Now I know I need you

No staying up late
Moments don't fade
I′ll never get over us
Don′t hide in the shade
You won't have to face the dark

I′m asking you to stay with me tonight
Don't go home cause my tears won′t dry
Beneath the neon lights
I see the reflection in your eyes
Won't you give me the kiss of life
Baby you and I
Beneath the neon lights

(Baby you and I, baby you and I)
Baby you and I
Beneath the neon lights
(Baby you and I, baby you and I)
Baby you and I

I′m asking you to stay with me tonight
Don't go home cause my tears won't dry
Beneath the neon lights
I see the reflection in your eyes
Won′t you give me the kiss of life
Baby you and I
Beneath the neon lights

(Baby you and I, baby you and I)
Baby you and I
Beneath the neon lights
(Baby you and I, baby you and I)
Baby you and I
Beneath the neon lights
