(Verse 1)
Mama said I used to shine in the driveway
Spinnin’ in my thrift-store dress like a disco ball
But this town got tired of my glitter highways
Said a girl like me ain’t meant to glow at all
So I packed my boots, kissed the cornfields goodbye
Hit the freeway with a dream and a cheap champagne
City lights said, baby you were born to fly
And my heart beat fast like a runaway train
(Pre-Chorus)
Now I’m dancing under lights that finally see me
Silver lashes, high-heel freedom on my feet
Every lonely night becomes a little less heavy
When the music pulls me back into the beat
(Chorus)
’Cause I found my neon halo, shining pink and gold
In a basement club where the misfits go
And they call my name like I’m heaven’s runaway
I’m a heartbreak angel on a borrowed stage
But oh—
In this neon halo heartbreak
I finally feel safe
(Verse 2)
Got a roommate who reads tarot in the kitchen
She says my past life was a wild, untamed star
Guess that’s why I feel the universe shifting
Every time I climb on top of the bar
I ain’t famous, but they cheer like I’m someone
Throw their hands up when I hit that final pose
And even though I’m still a long way from home
I’m the brightest thing the night sky chose
(Pre-Chorus)
Now I’m painting all my fears in glitter candy
Let the strangers hold my hurt until it fades
Every broken piece becomes a little more magic
When the bassline tells me everything’s okay
(Chorus)
’Cause I found my neon halo, shining pink and gold
In a basement club where the misfits go
And they call my name like I’m heaven’s runaway
I’m a heartbreak angel on a borrowed stage
But oh—
In this neon halo heartbreak
I finally feel safe
(Bridge)
Maybe someday, mama, you’ll come see me
See your shy little girl become a wildfire queen
Maybe you’ll cry, maybe you’ll say you’re proud
But either way—I’m dancing now
(Final Chorus)
Yeah, I found my neon halo, shining pink and gold
In a basement club where the misfits go
And I’m not afraid, no, I’m finally awake
Under flashing lights, I know I’m meant to stay
So oh—
In this neon halo heartbreak
I made my own place
