What does it mean when your only 16?
Dead on both sides but alive in between
All of your friends are in disarray
Some are just stupid and others are gay

What does it mean when your hearts
made of wood
Time hands you matches and turns it to soot
All makes you angry and you scream out loud
But nobody knows what you're talking about
All you see are...

Chorus:
Red Lights, calling your name out loud
Red Lights, pulling you to the ground
Red Lights, leaving all that you've found
Red Lights, Red Lights

What does it mean when your the girl you
once loved
Begins to give up when the times get to tough?
You just want to turn her inside out
To see where she's broken to fix her somehow

You turn your back and she drifts away
Your tongue is too dry to try and tll her
to stay
All you can do is hand her the keys
She drives away and you're on our
knees
Watching her...

Chorus:

What does it mean when you turn 23?
Alive on both sides but your dead in
between
I decided to leave here today
I'd pack my things and I'd be on my
way
About one mile from the city sign
I got stopped for one last time
By their...

Chorus:

I need a green light to get me through all
these red lights, red lights, red lights...
Red Lights
