Bad Idea in Neon Blue

[Verse 1]
Same bar
Same flat soda on the table
Phone glow
Scrolling trouble like a fable
Empty
But the silence feels too stable
So I start
Picking at the wires in my brain
[Chorus]
Boredom makes me wanna call you
Wanna crash the car right through my past (oh)
Every quiet night becomes a bad idea
And this is one that’s built to last
I know better
But I need you
Just to feel a different shade of bruise
Boredom makes me wanna call you
That’s a bad idea in neon blue
[Verse 2]
Dry mouth
Taste of midnight and old perfume
Door's locked
But I pace circles in my room
One thought
Slips in
Makes a little wound
"If it hurts
At least you feel something again"
[Chorus]
Boredom makes me wanna call you
Wanna scratch your name into my skin
Every quiet night becomes a bad idea
I keep letting all the monsters in
I know better
But I need you
Just to feel a different shade of bruise
Boredom makes me wanna call you
That’s a bad idea in neon blue
[Bridge]
I delete your number twice
Still can type it in blind
Every empty hour
Is a doorway in my mind
Tell me
Is it you I crave
Or just a flicker in the dark? (yeah)
Either way I’m dialing up
Another little scar
[Chorus]
Boredom makes me wanna call you
Wanna crash the car right through my past
Every quiet night becomes a bad idea
And this is one that’s built to last
I know better
But I need you
Just to feel a different shade of bruise
Boredom makes me wanna call you
That’s a bad idea in neon blue

Brooding new wave with male vocals over pulsing analog synth bass and tight, mechanical drums. Gated snares and chorus-soaked guitars color the edges, with a cold, steady groove that blooms into a bigger, hook-heavy chorus. Subtle backing vocals haunt the sides in the hook; bridge strips back to bass and toms before a final, saturated chorus hits hard and fades into reverb., new wave
