Red Light
Standing in the kitchen light
Doing dishes past midnight
Left over from dinner the night before
The laundry's still going
'Cause no one else is gonna do it
But she heads to bed 'cause it's almost morning
Between work and grocery shopping
Dropping off the kids at school fighting traffic
She's alone for a second
Hoping the light turns red so she can stop for a minute
'Cause lately life's been moving too fast
It might make her late but she won't mind
'Cause the only break from her crazy life
Is the brake on her car
At a red light
Hands tight on the steering wheel
Thinking through how to pay the bills
Doing her best to keep up with everyone else
Like tires her head's spinning
She's coming up on the intersection
At Fowler and Morris Bridge
And a song comes on the radio
It's one she used to know when she was so much younger
And her mind starts to wander
Hoping the light turns red so she can stop for a minute
'Cause lately life's been moving too fast
It might make her late but she won't mind
'Cause the only break from her crazy life
Is the brake on her car
At a red light
Some pray for it to stay yellow
Hit the pedal and push through
But she's praying to be still
She's praying for a good excuse
Hoping the light turns red so she can stop for a minute
'Cause lately life's been moving too fast
It might make her late but she won't mind
'Cause the only break from her crazy life
Is the brake on her car
At a red light
At a red light
Doing dishes past midnight
Left over from dinner the night before
The laundry's still going
'Cause no one else is gonna do it
But she heads to bed 'cause it's almost morning
Between work and grocery shopping
Dropping off the kids at school fighting traffic
She's alone for a second
Hoping the light turns red so she can stop for a minute
'Cause lately life's been moving too fast
It might make her late but she won't mind
'Cause the only break from her crazy life
Is the brake on her car
At a red light
Hands tight on the steering wheel
Thinking through how to pay the bills
Doing her best to keep up with everyone else
Like tires her head's spinning
She's coming up on the intersection
At Fowler and Morris Bridge
And a song comes on the radio
It's one she used to know when she was so much younger
And her mind starts to wander
Hoping the light turns red so she can stop for a minute
'Cause lately life's been moving too fast
It might make her late but she won't mind
'Cause the only break from her crazy life
Is the brake on her car
At a red light
Some pray for it to stay yellow
Hit the pedal and push through
But she's praying to be still
She's praying for a good excuse
Hoping the light turns red so she can stop for a minute
'Cause lately life's been moving too fast
It might make her late but she won't mind
'Cause the only break from her crazy life
Is the brake on her car
At a red light
At a red light
