Bright guitar loops and a vocal feature from Nia Sol.
[Verse 1]
Knee to knee by the window,
I catch your sleeve and grin.
Tin roof humming overhead,
and the day folds in.
A woman with plantains laughs,
a uncle sells small change.
Your tired eyes look up at mine,
then the whole car rearrange.
[Chorus]
Neon tro-tro, neon tro-tro
Rolling us home tonight
Neon tro-tro, neon tro-tro
Your smile feels just right
Neon tro-tro, neon tro-tro
Hold that look one more stop
Neon tro-tro, neon tro-tro
This little ride won’t drop
[Verse 2]
Yo, I’m by the back door, feet on the bar,
Watch the signs flash pink through the dust on the glass.
Everybody packed tight, but the mood still light,
One joke lands, whole row leans right fast.
You turn, I turn, same second, same lane,
Like the road put a beat in the ribs of the frame.
I say, “Pretty calm for this rush-hour crush,”
You laugh like, “Man, that’s the whole point of the game.”
[Chorus]
Neon tro-tro, neon tro-tro
Rolling us home tonight
Neon tro-tro, neon tro-tro
Your smile feels just right
Neon tro-tro, neon tro-tro
Hold that look one more stop
Neon tro-tro, neon tro-tro
This little ride won’t drop
[Percussion Break]
Tap-tap on the rail, tap-tap on the rail
Feet on the floor, let the small drum sail
Tap-tap on the rail, tap-tap on the rail
One shared laugh, and the whole car veers
[Chorus]
Neon tro-tro, neon tro-tro
We found our little light
Neon tro-tro, neon tro-tro
Inside the crowd tonight
Neon tro-tro, neon tro-tro
Say your name, I’ll say mine
Neon tro-tro, neon tro-tro
For this stop, we’re on the line
[Outro]
Neon tro-tro
Neon tro-tro
Your hand brushes mine at the door
Neon tro-tro
Neon tro-tro
Then the road takes us both once more
Saved this for the next long walk.
Love how specific the release notes are. It changes the way I hear the track.
