[Verse 1]
I packed a suitcase underneath my bed
Dreaming of a city glowing overhead
Everybody told me I should settle down
But there was something pulling me out of town
[Refrain]
I've been chasing midnight, running toward the light
There's a little voice saying, “Baby, take the flight”
Might break a few hearts, might start a little fire
But I've been too afraid for way too long to follow my desire
[Pre-Chorus]
“Where are you going now?
You traded quiet streets for a skyline full of sound,” oh mama
I'm finally alive
With the glitter on my face and the whole world in my eyes
[Chorus]
I'm gonna dance beneath the neon
I'm gonna lose myself tonight
I'm gonna spin until the sunrise
With the city burning bright
No, I don't know where tomorrow goes
But tonight I'm feeling free
I'm gonna dance beneath the neon
Till the neon dances back with me
[Verse 2]
There's a jukebox playing something I don't know
Silver shoes are shining underneath the strobe
Strangers turn to friends beneath the colored lights
And every little dream feels possible tonight
[Refrain]
I'm done with waiting for a sign to come
Done with wondering who I could've become
Maybe I'm reckless, maybe I'm too young
But I'd rather chase the fire than regret what I never done
[Pre-Chorus]
“Where are you going now?
You traded quiet streets for a skyline full of sound,” oh mama
I'm finally alive
With the glitter on my face and the whole world in my eyes
[Chorus]
I'm gonna dance beneath the neon
I'm gonna lose myself tonight
I'm gonna spin until the sunrise
With the city burning bright
No, I don't know where tomorrow goes
But tonight I'm feeling free
I'm gonna dance beneath the neon
Till the neon dances back with me
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
And I haven't forgotten where I came from
There's a piece of home inside everyone
Mama, when you call me on a Saturday night
I can hear that old familiar voice saying, “Baby, are you alright?”
And I smile because I finally know
You can leave home without letting go
[Pre-Chorus]
“Where are you going now?
You traded quiet streets for a skyline full of sound,” oh mama
I'm finally alive
With the glitter on my face and the whole world in my eyes
[Chorus]
I'm gonna dance beneath the neon
I'm gonna lose myself tonight
I'm gonna spin until the sunrise
With the city burning bright
No, I don't know where tomorrow goes
But tonight I'm feeling free
I'm gonna dance beneath the neon
Till the neon dances back with me
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
I'm gonna dance beneath the neon
I'm gonna dance until the morning
I'm gonna dance beneath the neon
And let the new day find me
