[Verse 1] All the signals flipped to green From the avenue to the hill I had both hands at ten and two But forgot the wheel was still Every lane said, “Come on through” Every horn began to sing I stared at the open road Like it was some impossible thing [Pre-Chorus] You said, “Go, the way is clear” I said, “Clear of what? I’m not sure” A thousand little yeses blinked And I couldn’t choose a door [Chorus] Green, green, go—then I froze Feet out of time, hands let go Green, green, go—what do I know? Every way is open, nowhere to go Green, green, go—then I froze You laugh, I laugh, and the traffic rolls Green, green, go—say it once more I forgot how to drive when the whole world said go [Verse 2] The crosswalk emptied out at once A cyclist coasted past my hood A bus driver waved me on Like he knew I never would You tapped the map against the glass Said, “Pick a street and make it yours” I turned the key, took one deep breath And rolled through all those open doors [Pre-Chorus] You said, “Go, the way is clear” I said, “Clear of what? I’m not sure” A thousand little yeses blinked And I couldn’t choose a door [Chorus] Green, green, go—then I froze Feet out of time, hands let go Green, green, go—what do I know? Every way is open, nowhere to go Green, green, go—then I froze You laugh, I laugh, and the traffic rolls Green, green, go—say it once more I forgot how to drive when the whole world said go [Bridge] One light, one turn, one breath The engine hums beneath my chest You point ahead; I count to four Then take the lane I’ve passed before [Final Chorus] Green, green, go—now I know Feet find the time, hands take hold Green, green, go—steady and slow Every way is open; I’ll choose where to go Green, green, go—now I know You laugh, I laugh, and the traffic rolls Green, green, go—say it once more I forgot how to drive, but I’m learning the road [Outro] One light, one turn, one breath I’m moving now; the rest can wait
