Luna Rivers - Neon Sleigh Tracks Lyrics

[Intro]
Neon signs reflect off frozen ground
December nights, no family around
Just me and my board, cutting through the sound
Of manufactured joy in this ghost town

[Verse 1]
Second-hand deck wrapped in yesterday's news
Midnight missions in my worn-out shoes
Connor taught me how to ollie through the blues
When Christmas lights just amplified my bruised truth
Daddy's gone and mama's working double
But these streets raised me through all the trouble
Found my tribe in the parking lot bubble
Where skater kids turn pain into subtle hustle

[Chorus]
Neon sleigh tracks on the frozen half-pipe
Christmas Eve hits different when you're living real life
Don't need no presents underneath fake lights
Got my chosen family keeping me alive tonight
F*ck what they say about holiday cheer
Real love's found in the kids who stay here
Skating through frost till the sun appears
Making our own magic through the years

[Verse 2]
Industrial estates become our winter wonderland
Empty lots where misfit hearts expand
Connor's mix tape blastin' through the cold
Stories of survival being told
Mama don't understand why I can't stay home
But these streets got secrets that I've never shown
Every scratch on my board tells a story
Of how we fight through nights so hoary

[Bridge]
They got their perfect Christmas scenes
While we're out here chasing dreams
In the glow of corner store beams
Nothing's ever what it seems
But I wouldn't change a thing
'Cause real love's got a different ring

[Chorus]
Neon sleigh tracks on the frozen half-pipe
Christmas Eve hits different when you're living real life
Don't need no presents underneath fake lights
Got my chosen family keeping me alive tonight
F*ck what they say about holiday cheer
Real love's found in the kids who stay here
Skating through frost till the sun appears
Making our own magic through the years

[Outro]
Just me and my board
And these neon-lit roads
Finding home in the cold
Where sleigh tracks never go
