Title:
“Neon Dreams”
Full song lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Em C G D
In the city of the dazzling lights,
Em C G D
Lost are we in these neon nights.
Em C G D
Running wild, feeling so alive,
Em C G D
In the shadows, we learn to thrive.
(Chorus)
Em C G D
Neon dreams, we chase in the night,
Em C G D
In the chaos, we find our light.
Em C G D
Neon dreams, they’re not what they seem,
Em C G D
In the echo, we find our theme.
(Verse 2)
Em C G D
Dancing on the edge of the moonlight,
Em C G D
We find the rhythm in the endless fight.
Em C G D
The city sleeps, and we’re awake,
Em C G D
Creating stories for memories’ sake.
(Chorus)
Em C G D
Neon dreams, we chase in the night,
Em C G D
In the chaos, we find our light.
Em C G D
Neon dreams, they’re not what they seem,
Em C G D
In the echo, we find our theme.
