Glow Stick Hearts

[ Lyrics ]

We lit each other up—then faded.

Met you in the speakers, bass in my chest,
your laugh like a chorus I couldn’t forget.
We didn’t talk much—just danced in the light,
neon on our skin, everything felt right.
No plans, just pulses, no names, just thrills,
you were summer on crackle, I was chasing the build.
Told me 'Stay forever' with your hands on my waist—
but forever’s just a flash in the heat of the place.

I should’ve known it wouldn’t last,
nothing that bright stays in the past.
We were glitter in motion, no roots, just flame—
love spelled out in a passing flash.

Glow stick hearts, we burned so loud,
lighting up the crowd but not the clouds.
One good night, then fade to black—
still see your shine when the lights come back.
Glow stick hearts, we’re gone by dawn,
all that color now is almost gone.
 — vocoder echo

Found your jacket weeks later, still smelled like smoke,
our song on the radio—I let it play, broke.
Scrolled through the pictures, you smiled like a star,
but the love we were faking didn’t get too far.
You moved on by August, she’s in your feed,
dancing in the same lights where you planted your seeds.
Funny how the magic just evaporates—
leaves you with the echo of a temporary taste.

I still hum that melody when I’m feeling low,
not because I miss you—just miss how we glowed.
We weren’t built for seasons, just a single spark—
a beautiful moment wrapped in the dark.

We were fireworks without a sky,
burning too bright to justify.
No future tense, just present flame—
we loved like nothing had a name.

Glow stick hearts, we burned so loud,
lighting up the crowd but not the clouds.
One good night, then fade to black—
still see your shine when the lights come back.
Glow stick hearts, we’re gone by dawn,
all that color now is almost gone.
Yeah—glow stick hearts, I still see the spark,
even though you’re light years from my heart.
 — wide stereo chant + shimmer decay

Faded... but we glowed.
