The signal\'s changing, but I\'m paralyzed
Stuck in the middle with no compromise
The walk sign\'s flashing, then it fades to grey
Just like the words I never learned to say
Cars are rushing past on either side
Kicking up the remnants of the evening tide
We\'re living in the amber light
Neither day nor deepest night
We\'re too scared to stop, too scared to go
And the tension\'s all we seem to know
We\'re waiting for a sign that\'s never sent
At this road\'s ambiguous testament
I see your face in the window of a passing bus
A ghost of us, a ghost of trust
And for a second, I think I see you wave
A promise that you might try to be brave
But then it\'s gone, and I\'m still standing here
Swallowed up by my own fear
We\'re living in the amber light
Neither day nor deepest night
We\'re too scared to stop, too scared to go
And the tension\'s all we seem to know
We\'re waiting for a sign that\'s never sent
At this road\'s ambiguous testament
The amber light will always turn to red
Or finally to green, the choice is ahead
But standing in the middle is the hardest place to be
A portrait of uncertainty
The light is changing...
But I\'m still here...
In the amber...
Alone.
