As I walk through the dive bar
Like a worn out sign
That once had read open
Now it closes at 9
Cause somebody hurt me
Heartbreak by design
What she couldn't tell me
I couldn't help but find
So if I invite you on over
It's best we go slow
Cause my heart's still bleeding
But you'd never know
I could perform this to no one
Or a sold out show
But the tears only hang inside my soul
So if I give you that green light
Please drive as slow as your first time
5 miles per hour will do just fine
The heart can still get what it wants
If we drive slow through
Green lights
So I'm asking for patience
And eyes that are kind
Someone in the middle of rhythm and rhyme
Like the stars have predicted up in the sky
A perfect constellation I can't seem to find
So if I give you that green light
Please drive as slow as your first time
5 miles per hour will do just fine
The heart can still get what it wants
If we drive slow through
Green lights
Through green lights
Through green lights
So if I give you that green light
Please drive as slow as your first time
5 miles per hour will do just fine
The heart can still get what it wants
If we drive slow through
Green light
Only appear when the time's right
5 miles per hour will do just fine
The heart can still get what it wants
If we drive slow through
Green lights
