Lyric

Neon bleeding on the windshield tonight

Holding onto coffee that’s lost all its light

The city’s in a jam, it’s a slow-motion crawl

Tracing shadows of the girl who used to have it all

Dreaming dreams that you will never get to see

Words are swirling, trapped inside of me

Like the signals at the crosswalk, red and blue

The answers stay frozen between me and you

Hey, can you hear?

My voice is melting in the night, still lingering here

Wait, no—that’s not it

I’m stronger than the girl you used to know, bit by bit

Hey, can you feel?

My heart is blooming in the dark, and this time it’s real

Wait, no—it’s different now

I’m moving on, I’m breaking through the clouds somehow

The signals are blinking, a rhythmic goodbye

I was walking like a stranger, living a lie

The red of my blush and the beat in my chest

Built a wall between us, put our love to the test

Can’t touch... but I want to so bad

In the pink umbrella rain, the best we ever had

Through a taxi window, on a corner in the haze

I saw a side of me I didn’t know in those days

Hey, are you listening?

My voice survived the night, and now it’s glistening

Wait, no—I’ve changed

The girl I was is gone, the pieces rearranged

Hey, are you listening?

The night cried out my dreams, and I’m still blossoming

Wait, no—it’s changed

I’m already gone, I’m out of your range

A version of me I’ve never even seen

Was reflected in your eyes, somewhere in between

What was "kindness" anyway? Just a ghost in the street?

But still, I loved the way our shadows used to meet

Hey, do you remember?

Dressed in the night, like a glowing ember

Wait, no—that’s wrong

I’m not crying anymore, I’ve been away too long

Hey, do you remember?

A dream for two, fading like December

Wait, no—it’s okay

The girl I am is gonna be alright today

Walking through the streetlights, a ghost on my own

Finally becoming the "me" I’ve never known

My lipstick is trembling, rejecting the past

Looking at a future that’s finally built to last

Can’t touch

But I wanted to touch

The light in the window

Whose future is it anyway?

It was just shining

Just shining
