lyrics

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...
