Lyrics When the Red Light Changes - Stretch

There was a time where love was in your eyes
Lookin at 'em now I see reflection of a lifeline
Not livin' in the moment was not livin in my right mind
Now the only thing I can appreciate is this night ride
'Cause I can't fight fate, but I can try and fight time
I'm to blame for this change in heart, my crime
I took us for granted time after time and I didnt sight signs
I didn't listen for pain, and so you drifted away
Now I'm wishin you'd stay, but all my wishes in vain
'Cause its a bit too late to save our love, so we'll give it away
I dont wanna fight, I wanna end it right
I dont wanna cry, I wanna end it right
I wanna stop time, I wanna end it right
Let me slow it down, so I'm hittin all the red lights

So let me drive you home
But tonight i'm gonna drive slow
And i'mma take the long way
Might even go the wrong way
'Cause once you're gone I know
When the red light changes
So does this road
So let me drive you home

Once I got you, I didn't think I would lose you
I forgot you can love without it being true
And now I'm seeing you as not someone I know
But someone that I used to, and i'm ashamed i used you
To make myself happy 'cause thats what i couldnt do to
You, I didnt satisfy you all i did was bruise you
Til your love was black and blue but I'm blue too, but
If start this again, baby I'd carpe diem
Give all my heart and so when it falls apart and it ends
At least I'd know it wasnt meant to be
And you would know what you really meant to me, so
I dont wanna fight, I wanna end it right
I dont wanna cry, I wanna end it right
I wanna stop time, I wanna end it right
Let me slow it down, so I'm hittin all the red lights

So let me drive you home
But tonight i'm gonna drive slow
And i'mma take the long way
Might even go the wrong way
'Cause once you're gone I know
When the red light changes
So does this road
So let me drive you home
