Neon Goodbye

The shadows lengthen, stretching down the street,
Every single hour, a bittersweet defeat.
This temporary structure, built of sun and sky,
Feels like a blueprint fading, as our last day goes by.

[Chorus]
Neon goodbye, on the wet pavement gleam,
Burning bright, in this last vacation dream.
Hold this feeling tight, a defiant, joyful spark,
We'll carry its echo through the approaching dark.

[Verse 2]
I trace the lines of every window pane,
Memorize the corners, before the pouring rain
Of real life starts again, the usual Perm view,
But these wide-open spaces, I’ll carry home with you.

[Chorus]
Neon goodbye, on the wet pavement gleam,
Burning bright, in this last vacation dream.
Hold this feeling tight, a defiant, joyful spark,
We'll carry its echo through the approaching dark.

[Bridge]
No crumbling concrete here, just a soaring facade,
A hidden courtyard memory, blessed by our own god.
The vastness of the river, in every quiet breath,
This freedom, raw and burning, a triumph over death.

[Outro]
A distant window's glow, a final, fading spark,
Leaving its indelible, burning mark.
