Neon Lyrics
John Mayer
Sky blue gets dark enough
To see the colors of the city lights
A trail of ruby red and diamond white
Hits her like a sunrise
She comes and goes
And comes and goes
Like no one can
Tonight shes out to lose herself
And find a high on peachtree street
From mixed drinks to techno beats
Its always heavy into everything
She comes and goes
And comes and goes
Like no one can
She comes and goes
And no one knows
Shes slipping through my hands
Shes always buzzin just like
Neon, neon, neon, neon
Who knows how long, how long, how long
She can go before she burns away
I cant be her angel now
You know its not my place to hold her down
And its hard for me to take a stand
When I would take her anyway I can
She comes and she goes
Like no one can
She comes and she goes
Shes slipping through my hands
Shes always buzzin just like
Neon, neon, neon, neon
Who knows how long, how long, how long
She can go before she burns away (away)
She comes and she goes
Like no one can
She comes and she goes
Shes slippin through my hands
Shes always buzzin just like
Neon, neon, neon, neon
Who knows how long, how long, how long
She can go before she burns away
