Red Light/Green Light

Looking out my window, I can see the red lights of the city
And a single traveler waits in the darkening night
A single destination, but he's held up from his mission
Waiting for the neon green in the traffic light
Imagine me in my car outside your heart, baby
Just waiting for the signal, for the light to change
My engine is idling, and everything is riding
On your heart: baby, don't be so strange
I'm just here waiting for the go ahead
But I can't wait forever: I'll just turn around instead
Baby, if you want my love
You gotta let me know, you gotta let me know
Baby, if you care at all
You gotta let me through, you gotta let me through
Baby, I've been hoping, and since I'm out here in the open
I'll run a red light to get through to you
I'd like to think that I can handle rejection
I've been through this more times than I can count
You gotta roll with the punches, you gotta play the hand you're dealt
You gotta roll the wheel of fortune when you're down and out
But baby, I ain't never been held back like this
Just getting through your green light is my only wish
Baby, if you want my love
You gotta let me know, you gotta let me know
Baby, if you care at all
You gotta let me through, you gotta let me through
Baby, I've been hoping, and since I'm out here in the open
I'll run a red light to get through to you
But baby, I ain't never been held back like this
Just getting through your green light is my only wish
Baby, if you want my love
You gotta let me know, you gotta let me know
Baby, if you care at all
You gotta let me through, you gotta let me through
Baby, I've been hoping, and since I'm out here in the open
I'll run a red light to get through to you

Further On Down The Road

I tried to be your friend and I tried to be your lover
And at least now I can say I never lost you to another
I lost you to myself, and that's a burden I must bear
But such is life, and who said that life was fair?
And though I'm down, it isn't like you even care
But you'll find out further on, somewhere
For all the talking that we do, there's so many things unspoken
Like touchy subjects we avoid and the promises we've broken
I won't apologize for the times I've broke your heart
But I'll say this: we should've known it from the start
You must own up to the things that were you part
You'll realize it further on, somewhere
Further on down the road, everything becomes clear
The lonely miles remind you you're alone
And burning bridges blinds you, and turning tables bruise
The gain reminds you of the things you lose
Like Bengal tigers in a cage, we strain to hurt each other
Like some pathetic stand-up act, I make jokes about your mother
I guess I'm just a clown, but the circus isn't funny
I'm waiting for the rain, but it always comes out sunny
And all my standard lines always seem to come out crummy
I guess I'll learn further on, somewhere
Further on down the road, everything becomes clear
The lonely miles remind you you're alone
And burning bridges blinds you, and turning tables bruise
The gain reminds you of the things you lose
Further on down the road, everything becomes clear
The lonely miles remind you you're alone
And burning bridges blinds you, and turning tables bruise
The gain reminds you of the things you lose
