Red light loving nearly stopped my heart
Sixty-two seconds of braking apart
I looked at you, you smiled so sweet
I wondered if you felt lonesomely
Like me, on that dirty city street
That red light loving nearly two years ago
Still washes over me, I don't know
I sometimes wonder what could have been
Married with kids, or just living in sin
Today, could our lights still shine on in?
Is red light loving just a traffic crush?
Intersections of loss and lust?
Fueled by fears and unspent tears
Do we play it safe for too many years?
Did you, too, see an angel disappear?
I buckle up each morning at eight O five
And blend into the rush of a million caffeine drives
Racing to get to where even rats won't go
A prison of steel rolls real slow
Looking for a secret shadow show
Our red light loving never turned to green
You sent me signals, but I was just nineteen
Too young to know I should have looked again
One last time to swap adrenalin
Or say goodbye in the heat of a Hollywood Tuesday
Stop light, red glow, you're there, then you go
Look out your window, you going my way?
Want to share my ride on the passenger side?
I don't like to say it but I do it everyday
I'm red light loving my life away
I don't like to say it but I do it everyday
I'm red light loving my life away
