i so hate consequences

And I'm good, good, good to go :I got to get away : Get away from all of my mistakes

So here I sit looking at the traffic lights : The red extinguishes the hope that the green ignites
I want to run away I want to ditch my life : Cause all of my mistakes keep me awake at night

And after all my alibis desert me : I just want to get by
I don't want nothing to hurt me : I had no idea where my head was at
But if my heart says I'm sorry can we leave it at that :
Because I just want for all of this to end

And i so hate consequences: And running from you is what my best defense is
Consequences : God, don't make me face up to this
And i so hate consequences : And running from you is what my defense is :
Cause i know that i let you down : and i don't want to deal with that

It just now hit me this is more than just a set back : And when you spelled it out, well, i guess i didn't get that : And every trace of momentum is gone : And this isn't turning out the way i want

And after all my alibis desert me : I just want to get by
I don't want nothing to hurt me : I had no idea where my head was at
But if my heart says I'm sorry can we leave it at that :
Because I just want for all of this to end

And i spent all last night : Tearing down : Every stoplight : And stop sign in this town
Now i think there might : Be no way to stop me now
I'll get away despite : the fact I'm so weighed down

All of my escapes have been exhausted : I thought I had a way but then I lost it
And my resistance was once much stronger : And I know i cant go on like this much longer

When i got tired of running from you : I stopped right there to catch my breath
There your words they caught my ears
You said, "I miss you son. Come home"
And my sins, they watched me leave And in my heart i so believed
The love you felt for me was mine The love I'd wished for all this time
And when the door was closed : I heard no i told you so's
I said the words i knew you knew : Oh God, Oh God i needed you
God all this time i needed you, i needed you
