Red Light 02:35
Let’s take a moment for ourselves Think back to when we shared this place Back when I thought I could be your man And back when I thought you wanted me too So would you listen if I said I miss you Let’s take a moment for ourselves And remember all the fantasies All the daydreams I made up in my head About your breath when I’m comin’ through You know I’m comin’ through I’m runnin’ ‘round town where I used to know you It got me thinkin’ ‘bout a time I used to own you I been pullin’ past the stop signs, hit a red light That’s a red light, shawty, that’s a red light Runnin’ ‘round town where I used to know you It got me thinkin’ ‘bout a time I used to own you I been pullin’ past the stop signs, hit a red light That’s a red light, shawty, that’s a red light
