Lyrics
[verse]
There's a diner downtown where the jukebox cries
Underneath a sign that never shuts its eyes
I sit alone where the shadows pool
Nursing coffee like a broken rule
She took the porch light when she took the door
Now this glow's the only light I know for sure
[chorus]
Under the neon moon I'm hiding out
Where the heartache's louder than the crowd
Buzzing sign above an empty stool
Neon moon don't judge me, neon moon stays cool
When the real moon's shining down on lovers holding tight
I'll be under neon, drowning out the night
[verse]
Waitress knows my order, knows my name
Knows the story, knows I'm not the same
Since she left with someone dressed in gold
I've been living off this sign's cold hold
Every song that plays reminds me why
I traded stars for a buzzing sky
[chorus]
Under the neon moon I'm hiding out
Where the heartache's louder than the crowd
Buzzing sign above an empty stool
Neon moon don't judge me, neon moon stays cool
When the real moon's shining down on lovers holding tight
I'll be under neon, drowning out the night
[bridge]
Someday maybe I'll walk back into the light
Let the real moon guide me home tonight
But for now this flicker's all I trust
Neon moon, keep burning, that's a must
[chorus]
Under the neon moon I'm hiding out
Where the heartache's louder than the crowd
Buzzing sign above an empty stool
Neon moon don't judge me, neon moon stays cool
When the real moon's shining down on lovers holding tight
I'll be under neon, drowning out the night
