VERSE 1:
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 Im 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/
Im going to gas it, Im going to make this happen, shoulders open, move past fine/
I can pass him, not going to brake or ask him, ive been late for the last time/
And I swear ive missed or 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 Im tired of these work trips. Every sunday working, wheres worship?/
If I could hold it down in this meeting then Im 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:
(Trying to get away now)

VERSE 2:
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 passed 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 passed this, for far too long it has lasted/
The door is open they cracked it, by an accident, im coming home if I could get passed 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 im getting up out of this traffic/
Im going to run, Im going to make a break for outside, thats going to make or break me out right/
I'll hitchhike, when a car comes make them brake, thats my ride/
Look at me run! Im 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 ive made it. Theres so many cars im elated/
Just thinking how long that ive waited, for someone to come in and save me/
For someone to come in and do something. Thats all over now, I see cars all over now/
Theres 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/
