Intro
Verse 1
Neon signs flicker in the midnight haze,
Chrome guitar lies in the corner, cold as the room.
Stale cigarette smoke and empty hallways,
Footsteps fade, but the silence still looms.
Pre Chorus
I remember your voice in the backstage glow,
Promises whispered, now just echoes of dreams.
The spotlight's gone, and the crowd's all gone,
All that's left is the ache and the empty screams.
Chorus
How do we go back to the way it was?
When the night was ours and the world was new.
How do we go back to the way it was?
Before the lights went down and I lost you.
Verse 2
I see your face in the mirror's reflection,
Every line and scar, a story untold.
The motel room's a cell of my own deception,
Memories of you, a haunting so bold.
Pre Chorus
I reach for the phone, but the line's dead and cold,
Words left unsaid, now just ghosts in my head.
The rain keeps falling, a mournful old song,
All I want is to turn back time, to make it right.
Chorus
How do we go back to the way it was?
When the night was ours and the world was new.
How do we go back to the way it was?
Before the lights went down and I lost you.
Solo
Chorus
How do we go back to the way it was?
When the night was ours and the world was new.
How do we go back to the way it was?
Before the lights went down and I lost you.
Outro
The road stretches on, but I'm just standing still,
Holding onto the past, with a heart that's torn.
The neon signs blink out, one by one,
Leaving me alone, in the dawn's cold scorn.
