The Getaway

Here I am again talking to myself sitting at a red light

Both hands on the wheel, how am I supposed to feel, so much running through my mind

First you want to be free, now you say you need me, giving mixed signals and signs

It's so hard to let you in, thinking you might slam the breaks again

Put the pedal down, heading outta town, gotta make a getaway

The traffic in my brain's driving me insane, this is more than I can take

You tell me that you love me first

Then throw your heart into reverse

I've gotta get away

I can't keep coming back to you every time you're in the mood

To whisper something sweet in my ear

It's so hard to move on, 'cause every time I think you're gone

You show up in my rear view mirror

Is this just a detour, 'cause I gotta be sure that you really mean what you say

It's so hard to let you in, thinking you might slam the breaks again

Put the pedal down, heading outta town, gotta make a getaway

The traffic in my brain's driving me insane, this is more than I can take

You tell me that you love me first

Then throw your heart into reverse

I've gotta get away

To a place where I can be redefined

Where you're out of sight, and you're out of mind

But the truth is I can't even say goodbye

Here I am again talking to myself sitting at a red light

Both hands on the wheel, how am I supposed to feel, so much running through my mind

Put the pedal down, heading outta town, gotta make a getaway

The traffic in my brain's driving me insane, this is more than I can take

You tell me that you love me first

Then throw your heart into reverse

I've gotta get away
