Times Square
Neon Dreams Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We had our reasons
We′d loved each other to pieces
I was in pieces
Long was the distance
When you came back home to visit
It was so different

So we had to let each other go (go)
Harder than a heart should ever know (know)
If it's meant to be, then down the road

One day, I′ll be there
Run into you, right in the middle of times square
One day, I'll be there
Run into you, right in the middlе of times square
We can fall in lovе again (oh)
Yeah, we can fall in love again (oh)

Sometimes, I wonder
What if we made it through summer?
Sometimes, I wonder
Oh, I can see it now
You and I building a life together
Like we always talked about (we always talked about)

But we had to let each other go (go)
Harder than a heart should ever know (know)
If it's meant to be, then down the road (road)

One day, I′ll be there (be there)
Run into you, right in the middle of times square (oh)
One day, I′ll be there (be there)
Run into you, right in the middle of times square (oh)
We can fall in love again
Yeah, we can fall in love again

We had our reasons
I still love you to pieces

One day, I'll be there (be there)
Run into you, right in the middle of times square (oh)
Uh, baby, I′ll be there (be there)
Run into you, right in the middle of times square (oh)
We can fall in love again (oh)
Yeah, we can fall in love again (oh)




We can fall in love again
Yeah, we can fall in love again

1 week ago today I listened to this song as I visited Times Square for the first time in my life. I never thought I’d be there but there I was. A cool night breeze and thinking to myself one day I will return here but with my soulmate. ❤️
