“Neon Lights”
By Demi Lovato
Chorus
Baby, when they look up at the sky
We’ll be shooting stars just passing by
You’ll be coming home with me tonight
We’ll be burning up like neon lights
Be still my heart
‘Cause it’s freaking out
It’s freaking out, right now
Shining like stars
‘Cause we’re beautiful
We’re beautiful, right now
You’re all I see in all these places
You’re all I see in all these spaces
So let’s pretend
We’re running out of time
(Chorus)
