Neon lights
Misread Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How do I get out of here?
I need to get out of here
There must be some place safe
My mind is known for playing tricks on me
My mind don't want to come out unless I ask it to
And I can feel the lies sitting on my tongue
Oh, how I want to come along
No (No)
No, I can't
I don't know if I can
I don't know if I can
How to kiss these neon lights goodbye
How to kiss these neon lights goodbye
How to kiss these neon lights goodbye
How to kiss these neon lights goodbye
Why do you want me to stick around anymore (But it's fine)
I don't want to stick around anymore (No)
I don't want to stick around anymore (I don't want to stick around)
Inside, like conversations in the middle of the night
Going 'round in circle, 'round in circles, 'round in circles
Oh, can you feel the way,
Can you feel the way
My face just wants to get out of here
Can I get out of here (Can I, can I, can I)
How to kiss these neon lights goodbye
How to kiss these neon lights goodbye
How to kiss these neon lights goodbye (I'm losing my mind)
How to kiss these neon lights goodbye
No, no, no, no, no
How to kiss these neon lights goodbye
How to kiss these neon lights goodbye
How to kiss these neon lights goodbye (I'm losing my mind)




How to kiss these neon lights goodbye
No, no, no, no
