Red Lights

Red lights in a rearview mirror
Vengeance serving as gas
But this monkey isn't getting nearer
Like the carrot to the ass
Seventeen years spent wishing to be older
Every day since looking back
To that fateful night when you told her
Red lights cannot go black

Never to be seen again
Never to be seen again
Never to be seen unless those red lights had gone out

It's in your eyes, nocturnal fears
Hollow words, drunken tears
It’s the sound of deadlines whistling past your ears

Never to be seen again
Never to be seen again
Never to be seen unless those red lights had gone out

No one understands the way you are today
And no one knows what you can turn into someday
But no one never ever is to know
No one never ever is to know, oh
So you say, and this will go to show

Never to be seen again
Never to be seen again
Never to be seen because your red lights won’t go out
