Lyrics

All the old clothes in all the old drawers
All that old stuff what was it all for
All the old watches all the old clocks
I know how you suffered couldn't stand to watch
All the old words all the old rhymes
All the old pendulums swinging in time
All the old scissors all the old knives
Too dull to cut through the leather of our lives
There was only one stoplight
In the whole damn town
Every time I’d get to it
I’d push the break down
It was the reddest light
I'd ever seen
And when I'd get to it
It’d never turn green
All the old tools in all the old boxes
The old bricks old stones and rocks
All the old toys old odds and ends
If I had a choice would I do it all again
All the old walls the old doors
Old dusty shelves the worn wooden floors
All the old secrets locked inside your vault
Somehow I knew it wasn't your fault
There was only one stoplight
In the whole damn town
And every time I'd get to it
I’d slow the hell down
It was the reddest light
I'd ever seen
And when I'd get to it
It’d never turn green
All the old homes the windows with eyes
The wave of your hand the longest goodbye
The moment we’re born we’re pulling apart
If I died today somehow I’d get you my heart
There was only one stop light
In the whole damn town
And when I got to it
I pushed the gas down
It was the reddest light
I'd ever seen
And when I got to it
It never turned green
Now I ask myself is it okay
Now I ask myself why I had to go away
Now I ask myself is it okay that I left
Now I ask myself is it okay
