Middle of Traffic by Amelea Lyrics
Step out of my way
You perfect planned distraction
But now I’m following you through
The good and the Badlands
And I’d try to talk to you
But that goes against my planning
I’ve got to get away from you
But I forgot what my plan was
You look too good to look away (so good)
Cross-section of my mistakes (my mistakes)
I should look both ways before I cross (left and right)
Middle of the road, I think I forgot (oh no)
There you are
On the other side
Walking away
Without a smile
Close your eyes
And count to 3 (3 times 3)
Walking through traffic
Playing hide and seek
You look too good to look away
Cross-section of my mistakes (so many)
I should look both ways before I cross (left and wrong)
Middle of the road, I think I forgot
Does it scare you if I stare
If it’s a contest, I wouldn’t blink
There was a stop sign, you whispered go (go, go)
And now I don’t know what to think (what do you think?)
I try I try I try as I might
But I know deep down I can’t win this fight
I try I try I try and I might
If I could just get you off my mind
I try I try I try as I might
But I know deep down I can’t win this fight
I try I try I try and I might
If I could just get you off the road
Try to calm my pulse to a metronome
Like the windshield wipers, drivers on their phones
Eyes everywhere, cameras catch the speed
There’s nowhere to hide, and everywhere to seek
Everywhere I go, everything I see
You’re looking right back at me
Everywhere I go, everything I see
You’re looking right back at me
You look too good to look away (look away)
Maybe I will another day (tomorrow)
You look too good to look away
Cross-section of my mistakes (so many)
I should look both ways before I cross (left and right)
I should look around before diving in your arms (I forgot)
I should think about if this is right or wrong (wrong)
I should think before I go and write you a whole song (too late)
You perfect planned distraction
But now I’m following you through
The good and the Badlands
And I’d try to talk to you
But that goes against my planning
I’ve got to get away from you
But I forgot what my plan was
You look too good to look away (so good)
Cross-section of my mistakes (my mistakes)
I should look both ways before I cross (left and right)
Middle of the road, I think I forgot (oh no)
There you are
On the other side
Walking away
Without a smile
Close your eyes
And count to 3 (3 times 3)
Walking through traffic
Playing hide and seek
You look too good to look away
Cross-section of my mistakes (so many)
I should look both ways before I cross (left and wrong)
Middle of the road, I think I forgot
Does it scare you if I stare
If it’s a contest, I wouldn’t blink
There was a stop sign, you whispered go (go, go)
And now I don’t know what to think (what do you think?)
I try I try I try as I might
But I know deep down I can’t win this fight
I try I try I try and I might
If I could just get you off my mind
I try I try I try as I might
But I know deep down I can’t win this fight
I try I try I try and I might
If I could just get you off the road
Try to calm my pulse to a metronome
Like the windshield wipers, drivers on their phones
Eyes everywhere, cameras catch the speed
There’s nowhere to hide, and everywhere to seek
Everywhere I go, everything I see
You’re looking right back at me
Everywhere I go, everything I see
You’re looking right back at me
You look too good to look away (look away)
Maybe I will another day (tomorrow)
You look too good to look away
Cross-section of my mistakes (so many)
