Flashing brake lights stretch to the county line
A sea of red, waiting for a sign
The smell of hot rubber drifts everywhere
But all I taste is the bitter air
This mess on the highway makes me think of you
We're bumper to bumper with no way through

Chorus

Gridlock, no exit in sight
Both of us too stubborn to apologise
Stuck in a desperate fight
Never knew love and hurt could share the same lane
Now I'm trapped in regret and pain
Gridlock

Verse 2

My worn-out heart keeps racing like my mind
Our last talk has me on rewind
Trying to figure out why you called me self-centred
Didn't realise the standoff we'd entered
Want to move forward but you're caught in the past
I'm wond'ring how long this standstill will last

Chorus

Gridlock, no exit in sight
Both of us too stubborn to apologise
Stuck in a desperate fight
Never knew love and hurt could share the same lane
Now I'm trapped in regret and pain
Gridlock

Bridge

Maybe tomorrow I'll get to goodbye
And stop going in circles wondering why

Chorus

Gridlock, no exit in sight
Both of us too stubborn to apologise
Stuck in a desperate fight
Never knew love and hurt could share the same lane
Now I'm trapped in regret and pain
Gridlock
