Track Insight / Lyrics
Dust motes dance in the amber glow
A chipped Formica tabletop below
Faded colors, a postcard's plea
Watching over you and me.
Cracked vinyl booths and flickering light
Another Greyhound pulls into the night
She left her number on a coffee stain
Whispered promises in the pouring rain.
The ice machine groans a lonely tune
Beneath the harvest moon
Each passing headlight, a fleeting grace
Lost faces in this forgotten place.
Neon ghosts are all we are,
Scattered pieces, near and far.
Parking lot dreams and motel signs,
Lost in the echoes of passing times.
Polaroid pictures taped to the wall
Show a summer that held us all
A beat-up Mustang, chrome and pride
Before the open road and the turning tide.
The ice machine groans a lonely tune
Beneath the harvest moon
Each passing headlight, a fleeting grace
Lost faces in this forgotten place.
Neon ghosts are all we are,
Scattered pieces, near and far.
Parking lot dreams and motel signs,
Lost in the echoes of passing times.
A cracked mirror reflects my weary face
Another town, another empty space
This camera's click, my only friend
Capturing moments 'til the very end.
Neon ghosts are all we are,
Scattered pieces, near and far.
Parking lot dreams and motel signs,
Lost in the echoes of passing times.
She said "Someday we'll find our way"
But someday feels a million miles away
Just a postcard held within my hand
A fading promise in this promised land.
Neon ghosts are all we are,
Scattered pieces, near and far.
Parking lot dreams and motel signs,
Lost in the echoes of passing times.
The highway stretches, black and wide
A silent witness, side by side
I trace her name upon the glass
Praying these memories forever last.
Neon ghosts are all we are,
Scattered pieces, near and far.
Parking lot dreams and motel signs,
Lost in the echoes of passing times.
Just neon ghosts…
Fading slow… Letting go… Letting go…
