All Green

[Verse 1]
Every signal flips at once
Green across the avenue
I lift my foot, I miss the clutch
Nothing knows what I should do

The taxis surge, the buses lean
A thousand arrows point ahead
I had a plan at seventeen
Now every road is painted red

[Pre-Chorus]
You say, "Go now," I say, "Wait"
My hands forget the wheel
When every door is open wide
Which way is forward still?

[Chorus]
All green, all green, and I can't move
All green, all green, I lose the groove
Go on the one, then miss the two
The road says yes, but what do I do?
All green, all green, the whole town sings
All green, all green, on borrowed wings
You pull me through the turning blue
The lights say yes, and I say you

[Verse 2]
A cyclist cuts across my lane
A wedding car begins to spin
The radio repeats my name
Like it knows where I have been

I count the stripes, I count to four
Then five arrives before the beat
Your hand is tapping on the door
My pulse is racing with the street

[Pre-Chorus]
You say, "Go now," I say, "Wait"
My hands forget the wheel
When every door is open wide
Which way is forward still?

[Chorus]
All green, all green, and I can't move
All green, all green, I lose the groove
Go on the one, then miss the two
The road says yes, but what do I do?
All green, all green, the whole town sings
All green, all green, on borrowed wings
You pull me through the turning blue
The lights say yes, and I say you

[Bridge]
Five quick turns, then three held breaths
The painted arrows rearrange
You laugh and knock against the glass
And suddenly the wrong feels strange

[Instrumental]

[Final Chorus]
All green, all green, now I can move
All green, all green, I find the groove
Late on the one, alive on two
The road says yes, I follow you
All green, all green, the whole town sings
All green, all green, with loosened wings
You pull me through the turning blue
The lights say yes, and I say you

[Outro]
Every signal fades behind
Your hand is steady over mine
