[VERSE 1: Nomis]
If I could just change lanes, if I could get over
I know I can make it
If I could just change lanes, would you let me get over?
You don't know whats at stake
If I could just get there
This meeting it happens in nine minutes
And im trying to prove to these nine cynics that if I'm in it
We can finally silence the critics
If I could just get there
This always happens to me
Well if people could drive then I could just get there
If I don't get over this traffic will eat me alive
If I could just…..
If I could just make it up out of this traffic I could just…..
Forget it Im getting up out of this traffic
I'm going to gas it, I'm going to make this happen
Shoulder's open, move past fine
I can pa** him, not going to brake or ask him
I've been late for the last time
And I swear I've missed our last date, and his last game
If I could just get to the fast lane, no longer neglecting the people who share my last name
And I'm tired of these work trips
Every sunday working, where's worship?
If I could hold it down in this meeting then I'm going to move up and….that'll be perfect
If I could just…
If I could just make it up out of this traffic I could just…
If I could just make it up out of this traffic
[Chorus: John Givez]
Trying to get away now
[VERSE 2: Nomis]
If I could just change things, if I could be bolder
I know I'll be free
If I could just change things, then when I get older
Who knows what I'll be
I could do fashion. They sold my soul and they cashed in
The door is closed and they latched it
But I can get back to my parents if I could get pa**ed it
I could just view the stars and soak in the light
At night in the bed
I never view the stars at night no instead
My light is red
If I could get pa**ed this, for far too long it has lasted
The door is open they cracked it, by an accident
I'm coming home if I could get pa**ed it
I could just…
I could be anything I could be free
I could be anyone I could be me
I could be viewed as a person and not as a service
I could be seen
If I could just make it up out of this traffic I could just…..
Forget it I'm getting up out of this traffic
I'm going to run, I'm going to make a break for outside
That's going to make or break me out right
I'll hitchhike, when a car comes make them brake
That's my ride
Look at me run!
I'm going to conquer this obstacle
Even though it seems impossible
If they catch me they'll stop me
But right now a freeway is right in my opticals
Look it I've made it
There's so many cars I'm elated
Just thinking how long that I've waited
For someone to come in and save me
For someone to come in and do something
That's all over now, I see cars all over now
There's one on the highway
Coming my way on the shoulder
WOW!
He isn't stopping
He isn't seeing me, he isn't budging
Of course he don't see me, everyone doesn't
Thought "this my ticket to freedom", it wasn't
She just couldn't make it up out of this ….. no
She just couldn't make it up out of this traffic
[Chorus: John Givez]
Trying to get away now
