As the 14th track in her third studio album, “So Close To What”, “Greenlight”, allows Mcrae to reflect on the emotional struggle of being stuck in a cycle of unresolved feelings and past wounds. The song explores the inner conflict of wanting to move forward but being unable to fully heal from previ...
[Verse 1]
Two chains
Hangin' off your chest when you kiss me
So strange
Who'd've thought we'd get here with our history?
[Pre-Chorus]
You know, I tried to be what he thought I was, I wasn't
I tried to be everythin' I thought he wanted
And truthfully, I'm so over but stuck on it
And if I'm honest
[Chorus]
I'm still waitin' at the green light
I'd tell you what I feel like, but I can't go
I'm still tryna make a beeline
Stuck up in a rewrite of the same song
Band-Aids and bullet holes don't go
I can't unhear shit I been told
Guess I never healed right
Maybe it's a green light, but I can't go
[Verse 2]
Midnight
120 on the PCH, just you and me
Babe, you know I can't lie
The most alive I think I'll maybe ever be, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
You know, I tried to be what he thought I was, I wasn't
I tried to be everythin' I thought he wanted
And truthfully, I'm so over but stuck on it
And if I'm honest
[Chorus]
I'm still waitin' at the green light
I'd tell you what I feel like, but I can't go
I'm still tryna make a beeline
Stuck up in a rewrite of the same song
Band-Aids and bullet holes don't go
I can't unhear shit I been told
Guess I never healed right
Maybe it's a green light, but I can't go
[Bridge]
(I can't go) I can't let go
(I can't go) I can't let go
(I can't go) I can't let go
(I can't go)
[Chorus]
I'm still waitin' at the green light
I'd tell you what I feel like, but I can't go
I'm still tryna make a beeline
Stuck up in a rewrite of the same song
Band-Aids and bullet holes don't go
I can't unhear shit I been told
Guess I never healed right
Maybe it's a green light, but I can't go
[Outro]
(Maybe it's a green light) Oh
(Green light, green) Light
Maybe it's a green light (Oh)
Green light, green light (I can't go)
Greenlight was written by Tate McRae & Grant.
Greenlight was produced by Grant.
Tate McRae released Greenlight on Fri Feb 21 2025.
‘Greenlight’ was interesting because this is actually a lot of how the road visual started for me. Because anytime I sat in the studio, I would just see like this long road. And that’s how like a lot of my writing started. But Grant started playing these chords and I just didn’t know where I was at...
