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
