[v1] This traffic light is no friend of mine it's laughing in my face Who'd have thought a small red disc could put me in my place? Yet here I find myself waiting for the green Lord, tell me why is this traffic light so mean? [ch] What if I just rolled on through ignoring the driving rules maybe break a little law? Just keep on moving pretending I don't see and pray that no one saw. Well that thinking got me here So this time I've gotta do what's right I'm better off stuck here at the light [v2] I was on my way to say how sorry I have been There's really no apology to make up for my sin so I will be right there just as soon as I can move Lord, what the hell is this light trying to prove? [ch] What if I just rolled on through ignoring the driving rules maybe break a little law? Just keep on moving pretending I don't see and pray that no one saw. Well that thinking got me here The devil sayin' it'll be all right So I'm better off stuck here at the light [br] The road ahead looks awfully long I could make a right on red and be gone, gone, gone, gone, gone But I think I'll wait my turn I hope your love for me still burns I know what I did was wrong [v3] Your eyes are red from cryin' you're sitting on the stair I pull up hoping against hope you're happy I am there I run up to you You stand up to me There's one more stop to wait through to know if you'll come back to me! [ch] What if I just rolled on through ignoring the driving rules maybe break a little law? Just keep on driving pretending I don't see and pray that no one saw. Well that thinking got me here So this time I'm gonna do what's right I'm better off stuck here at the light
