Green

[Verse 1]
All the signals flipped to green
From the avenue to the hill
I had both hands at ten and two
But forgot the wheel was still
Every lane said, “Come on through”
Every horn began to sing
I stared at the open road
Like it was some impossible thing

[Pre-Chorus]
You said, “Go, the way is clear”
I said, “Clear of what? I’m not sure”
A thousand little yeses blinked
And I couldn’t choose a door

[Chorus]
Green, green, go—then I froze
Feet out of time, hands let go
Green, green, go—what do I know?
Every way is open, nowhere to go
Green, green, go—then I froze
You laugh, I laugh, and the traffic rolls
Green, green, go—say it once more
I forgot how to drive when the whole world said go

[Verse 2]
The crosswalk emptied out at once
A cyclist coasted past my hood
A bus driver waved me on
Like he knew I never would
You tapped the map against the glass
Said, “Pick a street and make it yours”
I turned the key, took one deep breath
And rolled through all those open doors

[Pre-Chorus]
You said, “Go, the way is clear”
I said, “Clear of what? I’m not sure”
A thousand little yeses blinked
And I couldn’t choose a door

[Chorus]
Green, green, go—then I froze
Feet out of time, hands let go
Green, green, go—what do I know?
Every way is open, nowhere to go
Green, green, go—then I froze
You laugh, I laugh, and the traffic rolls
Green, green, go—say it once more
I forgot how to drive when the whole world said go

[Bridge]
One light, one turn, one breath
The engine hums beneath my chest
You point ahead; I count to four
Then take the lane I’ve passed before

[Final Chorus]
Green, green, go—now I know
Feet find the time, hands take hold
Green, green, go—steady and slow
Every way is open; I’ll choose where to go
Green, green, go—now I know
You laugh, I laugh, and the traffic rolls
Green, green, go—say it once more
I forgot how to drive, but I’m learning the road

[Outro]
One light, one turn, one breath
I’m moving now; the rest can wait
