Lyrics
Because Your Light Is Turning Green
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When you and the stoplight collide high
And then you see your friend walking on the shoulder.
Do you call her over?
'cause don't you know that it's selfish?
Because your light is turning green.
'cause don't you know that it's selfish?
Because your light is turning green.
When you and i walk each other back,
Do you make eye contact?
No, you avert your eyes.
They don't meet mine.
'cause don't you know that it's dangerous?
Because my light is turning green.
Because my light is turning green.
