[Verse 1]
We met at the corner, heartbeat after Nine,
Post lights glow up; love at first sight.
First date, green light, racing through the lane,
Laughing at nothing, both a little insane.
But somewhere down the avenue, yellow lights come up
You hesitate, I overthink, we both move slow.
Red at the crosswalk, now we’re standing still,
Lost in the quiet, frozen against our will.

[Pre-Chorus]
Every love’s got a rhythm,
Every heart’s got a sign,
We’re all just hoping for the signal,
Not another warning line.

[Chorus]
Red means wait, green means go, 
Yellow means ,don’t let me go slow.
In this city of stops and starts,
We’re just traffic lights for each other’s hearts.
Sometimes we’re speeding, sometimes we stall,
Sometimes we’re both not moving at all.
Green means yes, red means goodbye,
Yellow means ,give us one more try.

[Verse 2]
Horn sounds in the distance, people pass us by,
We talk in headlights, but we never say why.
Crosswalk love story, midnight turns to dawn,
I want to run to you, but the light’s never on.
Brake lights in your eyes, shadows in mine,
Lost at an intersection, running out of time.
We chase the green, but there’s always a sign,
Love’s just a detour, waiting in line.

[Bridge]
Flash of a taxi, rain on the street,
Wipers like memories, can’t hit repeat.
Waiting for the moment, the light to turn bright,
Wishing on a dream, loving through the night.

[Chorus]
Red means wait, green means go,
Yellow means don’t let me go slow.
Big city dreaming, little town fights,
Every love is made of traffic lights.

[Outro]
So let’s take the journey, no matter the sign,
If we get a red, we’ll just wait in line.
If it’s green, let’s fly, let the city know
With you by my side,
I’m ready to go.

Traffic Lights

No trace 

[Verse 1]
Your love was a slow burn, sweet and toxic,
Drippin’ down my veins, I couldn’t stop it.
Every word you whispered felt like truth,
Till I woke up cold, detoxin’ from you.
[Pre-Chorus]
You were my medicine and my disease,
Fed me the high, then watched me bleed.
Now I’m learning how to breathe again,
Without your ghost beneath my skin.
[Chorus]
Now I’m clean, no trace of your taste,
No more running back to that place.
Took all your poison, I made it through,
Now the fever’s gone, and so are you.
No more nights I confuse love and abuse,
I’m finally free — I’m finally through.
[Verse 2]
Your touch was a fever I kept craving,
A twisted kind of love worth saving.
You left me hollow, still I’d crawl,
Like a fool still waiting for withdrawal.
[Pre-Chorus]
You were my fix, my fire, my sin,
I lost myself just to let you in.
Now the silence feels like truth,
And freedom tastes like something new.
[Chorus]
Now I’m clean, no trace of your taste,
No more running back to that place.
Took all your poison, I made it through,
Now the fever’s gone, and so are you.
No more nights I confuse love and abuse,
I’m finally free — I’m done with you.
[Bridge]
Every scar reminds me where I’ve been,
Every tear was my medicine.
Now I’m standing on my own two feet,
Your ghost can’t pull me underneath.
[Final Chorus]
Now I’m clean, my veins brand new,
Was blind before, now I see through.
You were the lesson I had to lose,
Now I’m healed — I’m done with you.
Yeah, I’m clean from the pain I used to choose,
I’m free, I’m free from you.
