Lyrics
Verse 1
Salt air stuck to the boulevard skin
Night rolled in and the lights kicked in
Heartbeat bass from the edge of town
Whole coast shaking when the sun goes down
Heatwave haze and the palms lean low
Girls spun gold in the neon glow
Every street like a river runs
Pulling us into the midnight rush
Pre-Chorus
No way out, no slowing down
Everybody buzzing now
Chorus
Caught up in the neon tide
Hands up high and the speakers wide
Whole damn town gonna come alive
When the kick drum hits on a Friday night
Blue lights flash and the shadows sway
Young hearts burn like a summer flame
One more song 'fore the stars go blind
We're all caught up in the neon tide
Verse 2
Boardwalk smoke and the airwaves hum
Taxi lights and the tide rolls in
Balcony radios out of sync
Still somehow make the whole town sing
Barefoot sparks on the concrete cracks
Laugh too loud and we throw it back
Moon hangs low like a stadium light
Over everybody chasing the night
Pre-Chorus
No way home, not yet anyway
We're too gone in the sound to leave
Chorus
Caught up in the neon tide
Hands up high and the speakers wide
Whole damn town gonna come alive
When the kick drum hits on a Friday night
Blue lights flash and the shadows sway
Young hearts burn like a summer flame
One more song 'fore the stars go blind
We're all caught up in the neon tide
Bridge
Let it roll, let it ride
Like the Gulf wind blowing wild tonight
No thinking twice, no looking back
Just living fast inside this track
Final Chorus
Caught up in the neon tide
Everybody lit like a coastline fire
Last call ringing but the band won't stop
Got the whole world hanging off the drop
Streetlights blur and the sky spins slow
Salt in the air and the night still grows
One last shout before daylight shines
We're all caught up in the neon tide
