[Intro – soft piano melody, distant city hum] Neon spills on wet concrete Footsteps tap a quiet beat [Verse 1 – introspective, lonely] Streetlight glow wraps around my shoulders Empty crosswalks hold all my unspoken words A stranger’s laugh drifts from a corner bodega I count the cracks in the sidewalk as I turn [Pre-Chorus – wistful, yearning] Every window holds a story I can’t enter Every shadow looks like someone I used to know The air smells like rain and forgotten coffee I keep walking, nowhere left to go [Chorus 1 – melancholic, resigned] Neon shadows follow me home tonight No one’s waiting to turn on the light Cool wind carries my quiet sighs In this big city, I’m just passing by [Post-Chorus – wordless hum, soft] ooh, ooh, ooh ooh, ooh, ooh [Verse 2 – reflective, quiet] A half-smoked cigarette lies by the fire escape A crumpled receipt sticks to my scuffed-up shoe I pause to watch a couple share a umbrella Their laughter cuts through the blue [Pre-Chorus 2 – soft, longing] I trace the neon signs above the laundromat Wishing for a voice to call my name The clock tower chimes three in the morning My feet are tired, but I can’t stop the game [Chorus 2 – tender, lonely] Neon shadows dance across my skin No one’s there to let me back in The city hums its lonely lullaby In this bright crowd, I’m still left to cry [Bridge – introspective, vulnerable] I used to think the lights would chase the dark away I used to dream of someone to share the day Now I’m just a ghost in the neon glow Watching the world go slow [Final Chorus – soft, accepting] Neon shadows stay with me till dawn No one’s gonna fix what’s gone I’ll keep walking through the quiet night In this big city, I’m alright [Outro – fading saxophone, gentle] Footsteps fade into the dark Neon glows, a quiet mark
