[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

Silky 90s R&B swing with MJ-inspired male vocals: tight stacked harmonies, glassy keys, and snappy, syncopated drums that feel like city traffic. Verse grooves stay minimal with rubbery bass and muted guitar chops; chorus widens with lush pads, octave vocals, and airy ad-libs. Subtle percussive foley and filtered road noise pulse in the background, rising into a bridge breakdown with vocal runs and call‑and‑response hooks., r&b
