Red light glowing on my skin

A stop sign for the world I’m in

Heartbeat racing like a drum

But where’s the fire coming from

Red light, red light, can’t move ahead

Stuck in my head, in my head, in my head

Flashing danger, love’s misread

Red light, red light, we’re seeing red

Neon shadows paint the street

Concrete hum beneath my feet

I’m frozen here in the glow

Is it stop or just too slow

Signals mixed in the haze

I’m lost in the maze

Red light, red light, can’t move ahead

Stuck in my head, in my head, in my head

Flashing danger, love’s misread

Red light, red light, we’re seeing red

I could run, but it’s not safe

Every step feels out of place

Red’s the color of the flame

But it burns out just the same
