[verse 1]
when the light turns green
i'm gonna run for mexico
and leave behind my precious little things
even if nobody's here to watch me go
i will show no signs of wavering
[chorus]
but you can stop me anytime
with the palm of your hand in mine
you can stop me anytime
with a red liiiiight in your eyes
[verse 2]
when the light turns green
i'll find a way to disappear
blend in with the crowd and fade away
change my name and do my best to grow a beard
you won't find me hiding in the light of day
[chorus]
[verse 3]
sometimes love is not the answer, it's the question
sometimes leaving is the only way to know
so i will run as far as it will take me
and looking back will only make me slow
[chorus]
