Lyrics

Think I ran the red light, I didn't stop

Expressing a disregard for traffic rules, possibly symbolizing impulsive actions.

I was going too fast, how could I just stop?

Justification for not stopping, driven by the inability to abruptly halt emotions or actions.

How could I be expected to hit the brakes so quickly

An expression of difficulty in reacting promptly due to emotional impact.

When I just felt you break me suddenly

Feeling emotionally shattered or hurt suddenly by someone.

No matter how fast I drive

Despite speed, the presence of the past (represented by the person) is persistent.

I see you in my rearview mirror behind

The constant reminder of the past, analogous to seeing someone in the rearview mirror while moving forward.

All I wanna do is go, go, go

Desire to move forward quickly, possibly escaping or moving on.

But I've been a little slow

Admission of being hindered or restrained in progressing.

All the doubts are racing through my mind

Internal struggles and uncertainties clouding the desire to move forward.

Past every single traffic light

Symbolic reference to overcoming obstacles represented by traffic lights.

And my head is ignoring the stop signs

Ignoring caution or warnings, possibly making risky decisions.

I questioned myself, how I was right

Reflecting on personal decisions and seeking validation for their correctness.

No matter how fast I drive

Reiteration of the persistent presence of the past despite attempts to move forward.

I see you in my rearview mirror behind

Continued struggle with the past, hindering the desire to progress swiftly.

All I wanna do is go, go, go

Repetition of the longing to move forward contrasted with a sense of slowness.

But I've been a little slow

Acknowledging personal limitations in the journey of moving on.

Your nail deflated my four tires

A metaphorical reference to emotional damage caused by someone, likened to deflated tires.

That I need to move ahead in life

The realization of the need to progress in life despite emotional setbacks.

So I'm trying to patch all of them up

Attempting to repair emotional damage and move forward, starting with the first step.

I'm starting with step one

Initiating the process of healing and personal growth.

No matter how fast I drive

Reiteration of the persistent presence of the past despite attempts to move forward.

I see you in my rearview mirror behind

Continued struggle with the past, hindering the desire to progress swiftly.

All I wanna do is go, go, go

Repetition of the longing to move forward contrasted with a sense of slowness.

But I've been a little slow

Acknowledging personal limitations in the journey of moving on.

For now

Temporary acknowledgment of the present situation, possibly implying a pause or reflection.
