Left on Read at Rush Hour

Lyrics

Brake lights red like the dot on my phone
Three little dots then they vanish, I'm alone
Typed it twice, deleted it again
Almost something, never quite a friend
City lights blur on the window glass
Every second feels like it moves too fast
You said soon, but soon is a hazy word
Seen at six, and nothing else I heard

Do I wait, do I call
Do I let the quiet fall

Left on read at rush hour
Heart on hold in the glow of the tower
Maybe you're busy, maybe you're not
Maybe I'm asking for more than I got
Left on read at rush hour
Still I'm humming, still I'm ours
Almost, almost, almost, but the light turns green
And I drive on home with the dream

Radio playing a song about a boy
I turn it down, I don't need the noise
Traffic crawling like a slow goodbye
Reflection in the mirror, a little wet eye
I could send a heart, I could send a joke
I could say I'm fine, I could just not poke
But the midnight text has a softer sound
When you say what you mean, with your feet on the ground

Do I wait, do I call
Do I let the quiet fall

Left on read at rush hour
Heart on hold in the glow of the tower
Maybe you're busy, maybe you're not
Maybe I'm asking for more than I got
Left on read at rush hour
Still I'm humming, still I'm ours
Almost, almost, almost, but the light turns green
And I drive on home with the dream

Phone face down on the passenger seat
City keeps the tempo with my heartbeat
If you want me, you know where I'll be
Singing in the lane, finally free

Left on read at rush hour
Heart on hold in the glow of the tower
Maybe you're busy, maybe you're not
Maybe I'm asking for more than I got
Left on read at rush hour
Now I'm glowing, now I'm ours
Almost, almost, almost, but the light turns green
And I drive on home, I'm the dream

Left on read, left on read
I drive on home with the dream
