[Verse 1]
Red light
Heart stuck in the lane
Hands tight
Still smell your perfume on my chain
Dashboard glow on your old text thread
Should’ve called back
But I played cool instead
Missed turns
Missed words
You were right there
I was unheard
Now every honk sound like you call my name
Every brake squeal bringing back that flame
[Chorus]
You hit me like traffic
Stop and go love
One touch
I’m jammed up
Can’t rise above
Every time I try to leave
I circle back to you
Caught up in your rush
What can I do?
(oh, oh)
You hit me like traffic
Breaking my rules
Swerving in emotions
Playing the fool
Signal me to stay
But you fade into the blue
I’m stuck in your gridlock
Still waiting on you
[Verse 2]
Green light
But I’m stuck in my mind
Rearview full of all the things I rewind
Your laugh in the rain on a Friday night
That fight in the stairwell
Both too proud to cry
You said
“Slow down”
I sped right through
Didn’t see the signs
Pointing to you
Now this late night line feel like our old fight
Everybody stuck
But I’m stuck for life
[Chorus]
You hit me like traffic
Stop and go love
One touch
I’m jammed up
Can’t rise above
Every time I try to leave
I circle back to you
Caught up in your rush
What can I do?
(yeah, yeah)
You hit me like traffic
Breaking my rules
Swerving in emotions
Playing the fool
Signal me to stay
But you fade into the blue
I’m stuck in your gridlock
Still waiting on you
[Bridge]
[Beat drops to claps
Road noise swells]
Oh
Tell me
Is there a shortcut to your heart?
Can I U‑turn back to where we used to start?
If I pull up slow
Would you roll that window down?
Or leave me talking to the crowd
To the sound?
(Hee‑hee) I was too smooth
Baby
(Shamone) now the joke’s on me
If I moonwalk back to your side
Would you unlock that seat?
[Chorus]
You hit me like traffic
Stop and go love
One touch
I’m jammed up
Can’t rise above
Every time I try to leave
I circle back to you
Caught up in your rush
What can I do?
(woah, woah)
You hit me like traffic
Breaking my rules
Swerving in emotions
Playing the fool
Signal me to stay
But you fade into the blue
I’m stuck in your gridlock
Still waiting on you
