Sometimes I wake up and I wanna take a drive
Just to feel the highway and know I'm still alive
Lately it seems I can't get up to speed
Don't know what I want, and I don't know what I need
I'm waiting for the lights to change
In my head it's green to red - and back to green
I'm not myself these days
And I don't know what it means
But I'm waiting for the lights to change
Seems like we all caught get up in the same old race
Our little fears, the passing years, and the empty chase
And then we come up cold in the middle of nowhere
Fighting hard to breathe, fighting hard for air
I'm waiting for the lights to change
In my head there green to red
And back to green
I'm not myself these days
And I don't know what it means
But I'm waiting for the lights to change
A little push, a little shove,
A little luck, a little love
And then the past goes past and we survive
With our heart still beating, and we know we're still alive
A little sunshine and we're back again
And we forget just where we've been
I'm waiting for the lights to change
In my head there green to red
And back to green
I'm not myself these days
And I don't know what it means
But I'm waiting for the lights to change
Waiting for the lights to change
