We’re Picking Up Your
Mother At the Airport
We’ve Come Together
To Get Her
The Weather’s Getting Wetter
It Could Be A Little Better
We’re Riding In the Same Car
But Traveling In Different Lanes
& We’re Just Sitting Here In Traffic Baby
Waiting 4 the Light 2 Change

We’ve Spoken To So Many People
& Maybe One Too Many Names
My Friends, Your Friends Through Their Lens
To Get A Sense Of Who To Shame
But A Story Full Of Reckless Drivers
Leaves A Lot Of Room For Blame
So We’re Just Sitting Here In Traffic Baby
Waiting 4 the Light 2 Change

Our Car Has 4 Doors
But There’s Only 1 Way Out
2 Exit Is 2 Leave Behind
What Our Love Was All About
We Drove 2 Fast, Burned Our Gas
& the Past Left Us Estranged
Now We’re Just Sitting Here In Traffic Baby
Waiting 4 the Light 2 Change

If the Blues Were Any Other Color
Except the One That Midnight Frames
We’d Not Be Sitting Here In Traffic Baby
Waiting 4 the Light 2 Change
Sitting Here In Traffic Baby
Waiting 4 the Light 2 Change

Time Has Made Us Mimes
Because The Words Are Hard To Find
People Passing On The Right
Who Have Left Their Dreams Behind
Forfeiting Their Foresight
To Take Direction From The Road Signs

Our Voices Have Grown Hoarse
From Singing Swan Songs
Beyond The Limits Of Our Range
Chasing Shadows On The Highway
Hoping The White Lines Will Explain
Your Mother’s Baggage And Her Plane Arrived
She Says Next Time She’ll Take The Train
‘Cause Now We’re Just Sitting Here In Traffic, Baby
Waiting For The Light To Change

If The Blues Were Any Other Color
Except The One That Midnight Frames
We’d Not Be Sitting Here In Traffic, Baby
Waiting For The Light To Change
We’d Not Be Sitting Here In Traffic
Waiting For The Light To Change
Now We’re Just Sitting Here In Traffic, Baby
Waiting For The Light To Change
