Red Lights

In all good faith and sentiment
I can't believe somehow
That I haven't died of something
Since you left this town
I'm all undecorated, cigarettes
Standard white apartment walls

And 3 a.m. and 4 a.m., it's impossible to sleep
I'll do anything to hold you, to feel you next to me
But I'm all sore eyes and beast at my backdoor
Pulling out their claws

So yes, I will take those, whatever else they give me
If it stops the nightmares, it probably won't kill me
And if I slow it down, I'll end up on one of my accusers' knives
So I only stop to tell her that I love her
At the red lights (ooh-ooh-ooh)
At the red lights (ooh-ooh-ooh)

And all in all, I'm wrecked you see from years of piping down
And piping up about the things that never mattered anyhow
When you change too much, you lose yourself
And sometimes you just don't get them back

And you might be an angel or a devil, I don't know
But if in fact you are now, love, well, I've been there before
And I've fallen on my face, and I've been burned so near to death
I probably won't live through it anyhow

So yes, I will take those, whatever else they give me
If it stops the nightmares, it probably won't kill me
And if I slow it down, I'll end up on one of my accusers' knives
So I only stop to tell her that I love her
At the red lights (ooh-ooh-ooh)
At the red lights (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Mmm-mmm

Ooh-ooh-ooh

(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

So yes, I will take those, whatever else they give me
If it stops the nightmares, it probably won't kill me
And if I slow it down, I'll end up on one of my accusers' knives
So I only stop to tell her that I love her
At the red lights (and yes, I will take those, whatever else they give me)
At the red lights (if it stops the nightmares, it probably won't kill me)
At the red lights (and if I slow it down, I'll end up on one of my accusers' knives)
At the red lights (so I only stop, I'll tell her, I love her)
At the red lights
