Here I am again
Talkin' to myself
Sitting at a red light
Both hands on the wheel
How am I supposed to feel?
So much runnin' through my mind
First you wanna be free
Now you say you need me
Givin' mixed signals and signs
It's hard to let you in
Thinkin' you might slam the brakes again

CHORUS:
Put the pedal down
Headin' out of town
Gotta make a getaway

The traffinc in my brains
Drivin' me insane
This is more than I can take
You tell me that you love me first

(She talks for a little while)

Then throw your heart into reverse
I gotta getaway

I can't keep comin' back to you
Ev'ry time you're in the mood
To whisper something sweet in my ear
It's so hard to move on
'Cuz every time I think you're gone

You show up in my rear-view mirror
Is this just a detour?
'Cuz I gotta be sure
Tht you really mean what you say?
It's so hard to let you in
Thinkin' you might slam the brakes again

CHORUS:
Put the pedal down
Headin' out of town
Gotta make a getaway

The traffinc in my brains
Drivin' me insane
This is more than I can take
You tell me that you love me first
