Here I am again
Talking to myself,
Sitting at a red light,
Both hands on the wheel.
How am I supposed to feel?
So [bad word] through my mind
First you wanna be free,
Now you say you need me.
Giving mixed signals and signs,
It's so hard to let you in,
Thinking you might slam the brakes again.

Put the pedal down,
Heading out of town,
Gotta make a getaway,
The traffic in my brain's
Driving me insane. 
This is more than I can take.
You tell me that you love me first,
Then throw your heart into reverse.
I gotta get away.

I can't [bad word] back to you
Every time you're in the mood
To whisper something sweet in my ear.
It's so hard to move on,
'Cause every time I think you're gone
You show up in my rearview mirror.

Is this just a detour?
'Cause I gotta be sure
That you really mean what you say.
It's so hard to let you in,
Thinking you might slam the brakes again.

Put the pedal down,
Heading out of town,
Gotta make a getaway,
The traffic in my brain's
Driving me insane. 
This is more than I can take.
You tell me that you love me first,
Then throw your heart into reverse.
I gotta get away,
To a place where I can be redefined,
Where you're out of sight
And you're out of mind,
But the [bad word] is I can't even say goodbye.

Here I am again,
Talking to myself,
Sitting at a red light,
Both hands on the wheel. 
How am I supposed to feel?
So [bad word] through my mind...

Put the pedal down,
Heading out of town,
Gotta make a getaway (a getaway),
The traffic in my brain's
Driving me insane. 
This is more than I can take (I can take).
You tell me that you love me first,
Then throw your heart into reverse.
I gotta get away.
