Red Stops Traffic

He says he'll take me dancing

Yeah, he's gonna set things right

But then he rings to say he's sorry

He can't sneak away tonight

He's gotta go, don't wanna know

Who's on the other line

'Cause I may be on hold

But his arms were never mine

You're causing a buzz like the TV static

You're playing a trick like a hat and a rabbit

You're making a wave like a widespread panic

You're stopping my heart like a red stops traffic

I wonder who he's chasing

Oh, I wish I didn't care

Take time to press that dancing dress

I never get to wear

I microwave some coffee

And I listen for the door

And try my best to wish it back to how it was before

You're causing a buzz like the TV static

You're playing a trick like a hat and a rabbit

You're making a wave like a widespread panic

You're stopping my heart like a red stops traffic

And I'd curse the ground you walk on

But there's no use blaming pavement

These metaphors, these corridors

Won't be enough to save me

The faucet keeps on dripping

All the threads are coming loose

But all the roads I take to leave

They bring me back to you

You're causing a buzz like the TV static

You're playing a trick like a hat and a rabbit

You're making a wave like a widespread panic

You're stopping my heart like a red stops traffic

You're causing a buzz like the TV static

You're playing a trick like a hat and a rabbit

You're making a wave like a widespread panic

You're stopping my heart like a red stops traffic
