Neon Lyrics

When sky blue gets dark enough
To see the colors of the city lights
A trail of ruby red and diamond white
Hits her like a sunrise

She comes and goes and comes and goes
Like no one can

Tonight she's out to lose herself
And find a high on Peachtree Street
From mixed drinks to techno beats it's always
Heavy into everything

She comes and goes and comes and goes
Like no one can
She comes and goes and no one knows
She's slipping through my hands

She's always buzzing just like
Neon, neon
Neon, neon
Who knows how long, how long, how long
She can go before she burns away

I can't be her angel now
You know it's not my place to hold her down
And it's hard for me to take a stand
When I would take her anyway I can

She comes and she goes
Like no one can
She comes and she goes
She's slipping through my hands
She's always buzzing just like

Neon, neon
Neon, neon
Who knows how long, how long, how long
She can go before she burns away, away

She comes and she goes
Like no one can
She comes and she goes
She's slipping through my hands
She's always buzzing just like

Neon, neon
Neon, neon
Who knows how long, how long, how long
She can go before she burns away, away

What is the Meaning of Neon?

Ah, the enigmatic dance of the urban night owl! 🌃 In "Neon," John Mayer paints a vivid picture of a woman who's as elusive and mesmerizing as the city lights she dances under. She flits through life with the ephemeral glow of neon—bright, captivating, yet inevitably fleeting. Mayer grapples with his desire to be her anchor, yet recognizes that some spirits are meant to roam free. It's a lyrical tug-of-war between holding on and letting go, wrapped in a melody as catchy as the nightlife she chases. So next time you're out, remember: some lights shine too brightly to ever hold down. 💫
