And i�m good, good, good to go
i got to get away
get away from all of my mistakes
So here i sit looking at the traffic lights
the red extinguishes the hope that the green ignites
i want to run away i want to ditch my life
cause all of my mistakes keep me awake at night
And after all of my alibis desert me
i just want to get by
i don�t want nothing to hurt me
i had no idea where my head was at
but if my heart says i�m sorry can we leave it at that
because i just want for all of this to end
And i so hate consequences
and running from you is what my best defense is
consequences
oh god, don�t make me face up to this
and i so hate consequences
and running from you is what my best defense is
cause i know that i let you down
and i don�t want to deal with that
It just now hit me this is more than just a set back
and when you spelled it out, well, i guess i didn�t get that
and every trace of momentum is gone
and this isn�t turning out the way i want
And after all of my alibis desert me
i just want to get by
i don�t want nothing to hurt me
i had no idea where my head was at
but if my heart says i�m sorry can we leave it at that
because i just want for all of this to end
And i spent all last night
tearing down
every stoplight
and stop sign in this town
now i think there might
be no way to stop me now
i'll get away despite
the fact i�m so weighed down
All of my escapes have been exhausted
i thought i had a way but then i lost it
and my resistance was once much stronger
and i know i can't go on like this much longer
When i got tired of running from you
i stopped right there to catch my breath
there your words they caught my ears
you said, �i miss you son. come home�
and my sins, they watched me leave
and in my heart i so believed
the love you felt for me was mine
the love i�d wished for all this time
and when the doors were closed
i heard no i told so�s
i said the words i knew you knew
oh god, oh god i needed you
god all this time i needed you, i needed you
