Stuck in traffic,
On my way home,
Baby wait for me,
You won't be lonely anymore,

Stuck in my mind,
Is your smile and laugh,
I'm burning in my heart,
Can't wait to be in your arms,

Staring at the tail lights,
Wish I was in a truck in front of mine,
Minutes feel like a day and night,
And I can't wait for that greenlight.

Fame seemed just out of reach --
Across the bay, mere miles away
Her senses privy to the charm,
Head brimming with alarm
For she knew she’d never
Make it through
(But why stop dreaming?)

And on my way the light turns red.
Now I’m stuck with time to think.
Maybe I should turn around
But your warmth is calling me.

Red light adding seconds to my clock.
One second is all I need.
My cup is full of arguments
But for you, I’d spill my drink.

Fingers drum and throat, it catches.
Legs stick to vinyl seats.
Logic sings and reason whistles
But your hiss, it sounds so sweet.

Skip this song and then the next.
**** this whole CD.
As time, it stops. Decision reached.

But then the light turns green.

Many years I’m touched it’s not enough
I’m involved, but I have not evolved
(I think I’m locked inside my head, but acting outside my desires)
Desires our fires, but embers have not fulfilled
A wake in the bend and soon the light will emerge in the ripples
(I think I’m learning I’m my lead)

Pleasing is displeasing, look at me now
I’m living fiction because to please everyone will never satisfy
(I think I’m learning I’m so different)

The light is manifesting and the waves are turning
Drop of light in a lens, I see myself through the lens
(I’m learning what I want from me, not somebody, but me)

The light in the tunnel is airy, but sharp in rays
A laser is pointing at love; Mysteriously, I’m in love
(I’m learning that my desires are unique- make me, my own)

It came one day, on a stage; music pranced through
A note boggles in me, and shakes my soul- it’s art
Writing, music, philosophy, ideas, and beauty
And I was soaked, in green;  
(I’m learning that I desire a musical life not a pleasing one)
