[Verse 1] Every signal flips at once Green across the avenue I lift my foot, I miss the clutch Nothing knows what I should do The taxis surge, the buses lean A thousand arrows point ahead I had a plan at seventeen Now every road is painted red [Pre-Chorus] You say, "Go now," I say, "Wait" My hands forget the wheel When every door is open wide Which way is forward still? [Chorus] All green, all green, and I can't move All green, all green, I lose the groove Go on the one, then miss the two The road says yes, but what do I do? All green, all green, the whole town sings All green, all green, on borrowed wings You pull me through the turning blue The lights say yes, and I say you [Verse 2] A cyclist cuts across my lane A wedding car begins to spin The radio repeats my name Like it knows where I have been I count the stripes, I count to four Then five arrives before the beat Your hand is tapping on the door My pulse is racing with the street [Pre-Chorus] You say, "Go now," I say, "Wait" My hands forget the wheel When every door is open wide Which way is forward still? [Chorus] All green, all green, and I can't move All green, all green, I lose the groove Go on the one, then miss the two The road says yes, but what do I do? All green, all green, the whole town sings All green, all green, on borrowed wings You pull me through the turning blue The lights say yes, and I say you [Bridge] Five quick turns, then three held breaths The painted arrows rearrange You laugh and knock against the glass And suddenly the wrong feels strange [Instrumental] [Final Chorus] All green, all green, now I can move All green, all green, I find the groove Late on the one, alive on two The road says yes, I follow you All green, all green, the whole town sings All green, all green, with loosened wings You pull me through the turning blue The lights say yes, and I say you [Outro] Every signal fades behind Your hand is steady over mine
