So this is how it ends This is where it all goes down This is what "I don't love you" feels like It ain't the middle of the night And it ain't even raining outside It ain't exactly what I had in mind For goodbye At a red light In the sunshine, on a Sunday Nothin' to say, don't even try Some are comin' home Some are leavin' town While my world's crashin' down on a Sunday In the sunshine At a red light I thought she was gonna say Somethin' about that couple kissin' crossin' the street Or somethin' about this beautiful day But she just looked me in the eye Said it's over Didn't try to lie Or pick a fight I might have seen it comin' thata way But at a red light In the sunshine, on a Sunday Nothin' to say, don't even try Some are comin' home Some are leavin' town While my world's crashin' down on a Sunday In the sunshine At a red light There's a momma calmin' down a little baby in the backseat in front of me There's an old man dressed in his Sunday best just waitin' on green But I can't see, gettin' past This red light In the sunshine on a Sunday Nothin' to say, don't even try Some are comin' home Some are leavin' town While my world's crashin' down on a Sunday in the sunshine (at a red light) At a red light in the sunshine on a Sunday Nothin' to say, don't even try Some are comin' home Some are leavin' town While my world's crashin' down On a Sunday In the sunshine At a red light At a red light At a red light At a red light
