The getaway

Here I am again,
Talking to myself,
Sitting at a red light,
Both hands on the wheel,
How'm I supposed to feel,
So much running through my mind.

First you wanna be free,
Now you say you need me,
Givin' mixed signals and signs.
It's so hard to let you in,
Thinking you might slam the brakes again.

Put the pedal down
Heading out of town
Gotta make a getaway
The traffic in my brain's
Driving me insane
This is more than I can take
You tell me that you love me first
Then throw your heart into reverse
I gotta get away

I can't keep coming back to you
Every time you're in the mood
To whisper something sweet in my ear
It's so hard to move on
Cause everytime I think you're gone
You show up in my rear view mirror

Is this just a detour?
Cause I gotta be sure
That you really mean what you say
It's so hard to let you in
Thinking you might slam the brakes again

Put the pedal down
Heading out of town
Gotta make a getaway
The traffic in my brain's
Driving me insane
This is more than I can take
You tell me that you love me first
Then throw your heart into reverse
I gotta get away
To a place where I can be redefined
Where you're out of sight
And you're out of mind
But the truth is I can't even say goodbye

Here I am again
Talking to myself
Sitting at a red light
Both hands on the wheel
How'm I supposed to feel?
So much running through my mind

Put the pedal down
Heading out of town
Gotta make a getaway (a getawa-a-ay)
The traffic in my brain's
Driving me insane
This is more than I can take (I can taaaaaaake)
You tell me that you love me first
Then throw your heart into reverse
I gotta get away

Get away, get away,
Get away, get away.
