And I'm good, good, good to go
I got to get away
Get away from all of my mistakes


So here I sit looking at the traffic lights
The red extinguishes the hope that the green ignites

I want to run away I want to ditch my life
Cause all of my mistakes keep me awake at night


And after all of my alibis desert me
I just want to get by
I don't want nothing to hurt me

I had no idea where my head was at
But if my heart says I'm sorry can we leave it at that
Because I just want for all of this to end


And I so hate consequences
And running from you is what my best defense is

Consequences
Oh God, don't make me face up to this
And I so hate consequences

And running from you is what my best defense is
Cause I know that I let you down
And I don't want to deal with that


It just now hit me this is more than just a set back
And when you spelled it out, well, I guess I didn't get that

And every trace of momentum is gone
And this isn't turning out the way I want


And after all of my alibis desert me
I just want to get by
I don't want nothing to hurt me

I had no idea where my head was at
But if my heart says I'm sorry can we leave it at that
Because I just want for all of this to end


And I spent all last night
Tearing down

Every stoplight
And stop sign in this town
Now I think there might

Be no way to stop me now
I'll get away despite
The fact I'm so weighed down


All of my escapes have been exhausted
I thought I had a way but then I lost it

And my resistance was once much stronger
And I know I can't go on like this much longer


When I got tired of running from you
I stopped right there to catch my breath
There your words they caught my ears

You said, ?I miss you son. Come home?
And my sins, they watched me leave
And in my heart I so believed

The love you felt for me was mine
The love I'd wished for all this time
And when the doors were closed

I heard no I told so's
I said the words I knew you knew
Oh God, Oh God I needed you

God all this time I needed you, I needed you

And I so hate consequences

And running from you is what my best defense is
I hate these consequences
Because I know that I let you down

Now I don't wanna deal with that
