Red Light Lyrics
This is where it all goes down,
This is what "I don't love you" feels like.
It ain't the middle of the night,
And it ain't even raining outside.
It ain't exactly what i had in mind-
For goodbye.
On a sunday nothing to say,
Don't even try.
Some are coming home,
Some are leaving town,
While my world's crashing down-
On a sunday in the sunshine,
At a red light.
Something about that couple kissing,
Crossing the street,
Or something about this beautiful day-
But she just looked me in the eye,
Said it's over,
Didn't try to lie, or pick a fight,
I might have seen it coming that way.
On a sunday nothing to say,
Don't even try.
Some are coming home,
Some are leaving town,
While my world's crashing down,
On a sunday in the sunshine,
At a red light.
In the backseat in front of me
There's an old man dressed in his sunday best
Just waiting on green
But i cant see getting past-
On a sunday nothing to say,
Don't even try,
Some are coming home
Some are leaving town
While my world's crashing down
On a sunday in the sunshine
At a red light.
On a sunday nothing to say,
Don't even try.
Some are coming home,
Some are leaving town,
While my world's crashing down-
On a sunday in the sunshine,
At a red light.
At a red light
At a red light

"This is what 'I don't love you' feels like. It ain't the middle of the night, And it ain't even raining outside."
This song is amazing, and just, wow.
I love it.

I just heard this song for the first time tonight. I love it.

i love the song. very emotional

wow yeah this song is amazing but what does it mean?

I thought the meaning was pretty obvious.. but basically, the woman he's with and in love with breaks up with him suddenly at a stoplight on a Sunday. He expected their break-up to be dramatic and emotional, but she simply just told it was over and expected that to be enough. The world is going on like normal while his is crashing around him.
Very good song. :)

Awesome song. I love it

This song reminds of an upbeat version of Wade Hayes' "The Day She Left Tulsa".
I like the song, Its pretty self-explanatory. How does he not know he is about to broken up with? Is she cheating on him? Did she get into a trucker's cab when she got out at the red light? That would be a good follow up song to write.
I'd love for the lyrics to be expanded so we can hear more about his tumult. Wade Hayes' world crashed to the ground when his woman leaves in a "chevy in a hurry in the pourin' down rain." Then he goes on to rip your heart yet by explaining that she was pregnant, and he was shocked but accepting. Then he says it didn't get through to him right away that the baby wasn't his. Next he goes a step further by explaining that he still loved her and wanted to tell her it was OK, but it was too late - she'd already left Tulsa. Wow. That's how you tell the story of your tumult.
C'mon David Nail. Did she get out because your driving was bad?

Obviously a breakup song, written from the perspective of the one who's actually upset about the relationship ending. Sad song, but SOOO catchy....

I remember getting this song on itunes as a free single of the week. then it got real popular. I was also going through a breakup at the time and this song really hit close whenever it came on. Wonderful song nonetheless.

yeah man, this is a really sad song. meaning is self-explanatory, but, the inflection in his voice really sells how ordinary of a day he was having until the news broke. it conveys that surprise element really well
