Traffic Lights
Lena Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Have I got time for a shower?
You could jump on the blue line
Take a bus from the station
And I'll meet you out there
Get a drink if that's alright
Don't care what we do
As long as we do
What we're doing for hours
How long will it take?
Have I got time for a shower?
You could jump on the blue line
I could wait all night, -ight, -ight, I
I could wait all night, -ight, -ight, I
I hope that the traffic lights don't change
Keeping me away from you
I hope that the traffic lights don't change
Wherever I lose
And I hope that you're
Gonna get there soon
I hope that the traffic lights don't change
Keeping me away from you
It's cold outside
I've been waiting for an hour
But it's feeling like forever
I put my best dress on
With a low-cut top
Got some new shoes on and sweater
And every passing car leaves me wondering
Did you treat me wrong?
Whats happening?
I hear the driver say
"Go the other way
And look for something better"
I hope that the traffic lights don't change
Keeping me away from you
I hope that the traffic lights don't change
Wherever I lose
And I hope that you're
Gonna get there soon
I hope that the traffic lights don't change
Keeping me away from you
I could wait all night, -ight, -ight, I
I could wait all night, -ight, -ight, I
I could wait all ni-, i-, i-, i-, i-, i-, i-, i-, i-
I could wait all ni-, i-, i-, i-, i-, i-
I hope that the traffic lights don't change
Keeping me away from you
I hope that the traffic lights don't change
Wherever I lose
And I hope that you're
Gonna get there soon
I hope that the traffic lights don't change
Keeping me away from you
