Red lightI saw a red light and you saw a green.
I slowed my motor for that scarlet warning.
But you keep a rolling til your taillights can't be seen.
I saw a red light but you saw a green.
I dropped anchor, but you set sail
Saw a storm on the horizon and swore we would fail.
But you laughed at the thunder and said "fare thee well"
Oh, I dropped anchor, but you set sail.Somehow I missed it, somehow I missed it,
But you saw it right away...I saw an end, but you saw this start
I declared it over, thought I had played it smart.
You built a castle from all that fell apart
I saw an end, but you saw this start.Somehow I missed it, somehow I missed it,
But you saw it right away.
Somehow I missed it, somehow I missed it,
But you saw it right away.I saw a red light. You saw a green light.
Somehow I missed it.
I slowed my motor for that scarlet warning.
