"Neon Signs" lyrics

"Neon Signs"

Passing by all the places I have known
Where I could not find the way out
For the way home
Am I surprised of all the ways a life could go?
I'm passing all these places
On the way home
On the way home
On the way home

Passing by all these neon signs
They were times in life
And then they slipped away
Passing by all these broken dreams
At least, so it seems
All my what-ifs, one-days
Might've-beens and could've-shoulds...
Just muscle cars rusting in the woods

Long for days when something caught my eye
But I'd end up chasing memories down
Like fireflies... oh, let it go
Half a life, and no one wants to be alone
So I count up all the faces
On the way home
On the way home
On the way home

Passing by all these neon signs
They were times in life
And then they slipped away
Passing by all these broken dreams
At least, so it seems
All my what-ifs, one-days
Might've-beens and could've-shoulds...
Just muscle cars rusting in the woods

Woods

Times in life you know they slip away
Times in life you know they slip away
Sometimes life you know it slips away
In the twilight of a neon sign

Somewhere between home
And somewhere down the road

Burning wheels, broken things
Shiny chrome, faded dreams
We're running through the trees
Sliding across the hoods
Just muscle cars resting in the woods
