Red Lights

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
