Neon Hearts (Summer Fade)

Verse 1:

We met beneath the flicker of arcade lights,

Midnight skies and motorbike rides.

Cassette tape dreams and ultraviolet nights,

Your hand in mine, electric tide.

Skyscraper shadows, we danced through the glow,

A skyline pulse where time moved slow.

Your voice a ghost in my stereo,

And I still hear it through the snow.

Chorus:

Neon hearts beat out of time,

Caught in the pulse of a summer high.

We burned like fire in pixel skies,

Now I chase you through the wires.

Love like this, it doesn’t stay…

But I still see you when the synths start to play.

Summer love, then you fade away.

Verse 2:

We lit the boardwalk like a fever dream,

Sunglasses on, we ruled the scene.

Polaroid kisses on the silver screen,

Two outlaws lost in a drum machine.

Now I’m driving through a vapor haze,

Your silhouette in the heatwave.

Memory loops I can’t escape,

Just echoes in a neon grave.

Chorus:

Neon hearts beat out of time,

Caught in the pulse of a summer high.

We burned like fire in pixel skies,

Now I chase you through the wires.

Love like this, it doesn’t stay…

But I still see you when the synths start to play.

Summer love, then you fade away.

Bridge (spoken / vocoder):

“You said we’d outrun the end…

But some sunsets aren’t meant to last.

Still… every night I rewind the past.”

Outro (sung softly with synth solo):

Summer love… still on replay,

In the static haze where you slipped away.

Neon hearts… just shadows now,

But I’d go back if time allowed…
