It’s a race to a red light and we jumped the starting gun
I get ahead of myself, you break into a run
It’s a song for the midnight and we’re singing to the sun
But the favour of dawn, so it seems, like a race to a red light, can’t be won
Is it all that we know? Or all that we choose to understand
Holding us back from the things we want?
Is it going to last? Do you think that it’s moving way too fast?
‘Cause I feel as if I have grown numb
It’s a race to a red light and we jumped the starting gun
I get ahead of myself, you break into a run
It’s a road so infinite and we’ve only just begun
Maybe we’re fooling ourselves, like a race to a red light,
It’s never done
We carried on through the night
Under makeshift candlelight that spread like the stars in a lesser way
You looked at me, told me of all that we could be
Once we see the winning side no one does
But we’ll never cross that line because
It’s a race to a red light and we jumped the starting gun
I get ahead of myself, you break into a run
It’s a song for the midnight and we’re singing to the sun
But the favour of dawn, so it seems, like a race to a red light,
Can’t be won
Like a road so infinite it’s never done
It’s a race to a red light
