Traffic Lights - Sara Kays

Your hand on my leg while your other hand drives

You glance to the side

I’d tell you to focus, you’d swerve to the right

That’s how it used to be

You’d look at me before you’d turn the key

But now I can’t help but think

That maybe you fell out of love with me

'Cause you keep your eyes on the road

Both hands on the wheel, you never let go

You don’t like to talk to me when

Your foot’s on the gas, say you’re focusing

I wish we would stop at a red

And you’d turn to say, you love me again

But you keep your eyes on the road

No matter what color the traffic lights glow

I used to hope

All the lights would be red or yellow

Now I hope for green

So I can pretend that’s why you ignore me

You don’t wanna talk

When I get in, you turn the music up

But I still buckle up

I’m holding on but I think that you’re done

'Cause you keep your eyes on the road

Both hands on the wheel, you never let go

You don’t like to talk to me when

Your foot’s on the gas, say you’re focusing

I wish we would stop at a red

And you’d turn to say, you love me again

But you keep your eyes on the road

No matter what color the traffic lights glow

Every time that you pull up in the drive

I get in your car and think «Is this the last time?»

I’m holding my breath in the passenger’s side

Your safe driving has me scared for my life

'Cause you keep your eyes on the road

Both hands on the wheel, you never let go

You don’t like to talk to me when

Your foot’s on the gas, say you’re focusing

I wish we would stop at a red

And you’d turn to say, you love me again

But you keep your eyes on the road

No matter what color the traffic lights glow

No matter what color the traffic lights glow

No matter what color the traffic lights glow
