Name: Neon Blue
Duration: P00H04M19S
Description: "I’ve had this one in the bag for almost two years. It needed some production to give it a lift, and I love where Marcus took it. It’s a song about losing everything when you’re living too fast to notice. There’s themes of long distance love and trying to keep it together while apart, over-drinking to feel something and the classic VLT bars I grew up sneaking into."

lyrics

Sawdust on the floor
Wooden tables
Cigarettes put out in plastic cups
No matter how much I drink in here
It never seems to get me drunk

The bathroom in the back
Is out of service
Go take a piss out in the parking lot
I used to run this town when I played for beer
Didn’t care if you loved me or not

Now you don’t come around
Say it feels different
Like something bad has moved in you
I feel gone, I feel sad
I wanna hold you like i used to do
When you used to be mine, baby
Wrapped up in neon blue

Torn up old blue jeans
Gambling machines
We’d go two step when I ran out of change
No matter how much I’d step on your feet
You’d never know by seeing your face

Now you won’t come and dance
The moves feel different
Like I forgot how to count ‘one and two’
I feel gone, I feel sad
I wanna hold you like I used to do
When you used to be mine, baby
Wrapped up in neon blue

Heartbreak, old songs
Talking to strangers just to get along
One more last call, then it’s always time to go
Funny how dark it seems
Funny how dark it seems
Funny how dark it seems without you
To make that neon glow
