Here I am again talking to myself sitting at a red light
Both hands on the wheel, how am I supposed to feel, so much running through my mind
First you want to be free, now you say you need me, giving mixed signals and signs
It's so hard to let you in, thinking you might slam the breaks again
[Chorus]
Put the pedal down, heading outta town, gotta make a getaway
The traffic in my brain's driving me insane, this is more than I can take
You tell me that you love me first
Then throw your heart into reverse
I've gotta get away
I can't keep coming back to you every time you're in the mood
To whisper something sweet in my ear
It's so hard to move on, 'cause every time I think you're gone
You show up in my rear view mirror
Is this just a detour, 'cause I gotta be sure that you really mean what you say
It's so hard to let you in, thinking you might slam the breaks again
[Chorus]
To a place where I can be redefined
Where you're out of sight, and you're out of mind
But the truth is I can't even say goodbye
Here I am again talking to myself sitting at a red light
Both hands on the wheel, how am I supposed to feel, so much running through my mind
[Chorus]
Both hands on the wheel, how am I supposed to feel, so much running through my mind
First you want to be free, now you say you need me, giving mixed signals and signs
It's so hard to let you in, thinking you might slam the breaks again
[Chorus]
Put the pedal down, heading outta town, gotta make a getaway
The traffic in my brain's driving me insane, this is more than I can take
You tell me that you love me first
Then throw your heart into reverse
I've gotta get away
I can't keep coming back to you every time you're in the mood
To whisper something sweet in my ear
It's so hard to move on, 'cause every time I think you're gone
You show up in my rear view mirror
Is this just a detour, 'cause I gotta be sure that you really mean what you say
It's so hard to let you in, thinking you might slam the breaks again
[Chorus]
To a place where I can be redefined
Where you're out of sight, and you're out of mind
But the truth is I can't even say goodbye
Here I am again talking to myself sitting at a red light
Both hands on the wheel, how am I supposed to feel, so much running through my mind
[Chorus]

That's just my take on this song
God, is this familiar. Such a catchy, pretty, familiar song.
That was just my impression when I heard this song.
I think that's what it means cauz i was in one of thoses situations and i feel that's what it means. I'm not a big fan of hilary duff but i love this song.. i think if they made this music video she'd probably be in a car and when she drives she sees couple and like memories of everything go in her head that's my opinion... but i dunno if it's right
Even though i cant stand her as a person, but none the less, very catchy song.
