Red Light Ritual

Is anybody on the line?

Standing on the asphalt,

paint is turning gray

This little red man won't let me walk away (tick,

tick, tick) Your voice on the speaker,

ordering a glass of ice water Saying we should call it a

night, yeah it's over

I see the glowing screen (the glow) Two little checkmarks of blue

I'm left on read in the street light Waiting on a green

light with you

Read receipt, cold on my screen (yeah) You order water and you're

leaving me clean Red light holds,

the seconds freeze Left me standing on my knees

Car tires hiss, the pavement is damp

Still stuck beneath this halogen lamp (hello?) You hung up the line,

no goodbye to send

Just a double blue check at the end

Read receipt, cold on my screen

(yeah) You order water and you're leaving me clean

Red light holds, the seconds freeze Left me standing on my knees

Just a read receipt...

(tick, tick) Red light stays too long
