  • Well, you were happy where you were
    But that girl she wheeled you in
    This time was never good enough
    'Cause she was gone and seen everything
    And if you ever spoke of love
    She just smiled and put you down
    'Cause she was making all the plans
    She had a vision of light and sound

    She said the neon on the river will light my way
    And everything that we've been dreaming of making real one day
    So save your money pack your bags
    We better run before we disappear
    She took the train into the city but you're still here

    You hear a song that takes you back
    The song long for God tonight
    And friends who said they hang your back
    But they just turned them round and let you fight
    And on the bowling alley wall
    You used all your smartest minds
    But they'll be painted over now
    Looks like here gonna get left behind

    She said the neon on the river will light my way
    And all the things that we've been dreaming of making real one day
    So save your money, pack your bags
    I wanna run with you on Stamford hill
    She took the train into the city but you stood still

    You stood still about the train
    You knew as you watched her go
    That she wan never coming back
    And start to places that you know
    You said you're scared if I
    And that didn't want to go
    Where everyone else goes

    She said the neon on the river will light my way
    And everything that we've been dreaming of making real one day
    So save your money, pack your bags
    We better run before we disappear
    She took the train into the city but you're still here
    She took the train into the city but you're still here Writer/s: JESSE QUIN, RICHARD DAVID HUGHES, TIMOTHY JAMES RICE-OXLEY, TOM CHAPLIN
