Keane - Neon River lyrics
[Keane - Neon River lyrics]
Well you were happy where you were
But that girl, she reeled you in
This town was never good enough
Cause she was gonna see everything
And if you ever spoke of love
She just smiled and put you down
Cause she was making other plans
She had a vision of light and sound
She said the neon on the
River will light my way
And everything that we've been dreaming of
We'll make it real one day
So save your money, pack your bag
We better run before we disappear
She took the train into the city
But, you're still here
You hear a song that takes you back
To some long-forgotten night
And friends who said they had your back
But they just turned and ran
And let you fight
And on the bowling alley wall
You used all your smartest lines
But they've been painted over now
Looks like you're gonna get left behind
She said the neon on the
River will light my way
And all the things that
We've been dreaming of
We'll make them real one day
So save your money, pack your bag
I wanna run with you on Stamford Hill
She took the train into the city
But, you stood still
You stood still above the track
You knew as you watched her go
That she was never coming back
You stuck to places that you know
You said you were scared of heights
And that you didn't want to go
Where everyone else goes
She said the neon on the
River will light my way
And everything that we've been dreaming of
We'll make it real one day
So save your money, pack your bag
We better run before we disappear
She took the train into the city
But, you're still here
She took the train into the city
But, you're still here
But that girl, she reeled you in
This town was never good enough
Cause she was gonna see everything
And if you ever spoke of love
She just smiled and put you down
Cause she was making other plans
She had a vision of light and sound
She said the neon on the
River will light my way
And everything that we've been dreaming of
We'll make it real one day
So save your money, pack your bag
We better run before we disappear
She took the train into the city
But, you're still here
You hear a song that takes you back
To some long-forgotten night
And friends who said they had your back
But they just turned and ran
And let you fight
And on the bowling alley wall
You used all your smartest lines
But they've been painted over now
Looks like you're gonna get left behind
She said the neon on the
River will light my way
And all the things that
We've been dreaming of
We'll make them real one day
So save your money, pack your bag
I wanna run with you on Stamford Hill
She took the train into the city
But, you stood still
You stood still above the track
You knew as you watched her go
That she was never coming back
You stuck to places that you know
You said you were scared of heights
And that you didn't want to go
Where everyone else goes
She said the neon on the
River will light my way
And everything that we've been dreaming of
We'll make it real one day
So save your money, pack your bag
We better run before we disappear
She took the train into the city
But, you're still here
She took the train into the city
But, you're still here
