I was staring at the traffic lights

Blinking red like a warning fight

But I walked through the night so blind

I did not recognize the signs

Your voice was a storm

A crashing wave

But I heard it as a song to save

The echoes faded

Left me behind

I did not recognize the signs

Every whisper

Every glance

Was a part of the last dance

I kept moving

Thought it was fine

But I did not recognize the signs

The clock ticked louder

Time stood still

But I ignored the cold

The chill

Thought forever was yours and mine

I did not recognize the signs

Faded footprints on the sand

Told the story I couldn't understand

Every step a line misaligned

I did not recognize the signs

Every whisper

Every glance

Was a part of the last dance

I kept moving

Thought it was fine

But I did not recognize the signs
