“You Are the Traffic” is the second track of “Indigo Violet,” the first EP from COIN’s three-part EP series, “Rainbow Mixtape."
Lead singer Chase Lawrence explained,
Earlier this year, I found myself stuck in traffic. After several attempts of escape, weaving in & out of cars, my efforts were...
[Intro]
Three, four
[Verse 1]
Everyone still looks the same, except you
And the kids are running faster now, but they're not moving
And how come everyone is in the way except you?
And we're frozen in the fast lane; where are we going?
[Chorus]
Hey, what can I say?
I keep splitting in two
Hey, what a mistake
Oh, there's no me without you
[Verse 2]
Everyone's in the way, except you
Problem solved, I guess I get too focused on when I arrive
Careful now, oh, I guess it isn't up for me to decide
If I get some color on my cheeks
[Chorus]
Hey, what can I say?
I keep splitting in two
Hey, what a mistake
Oh, there's no me without you
[Bridge]
You are the problem
You are the traffic
Oh god, I get so eager that
I lose sight of what's in front of me
And oh, I'm submitting to this season
Why try to fight it?
[Chorus]
Hey, what can I say?
I keep splitting in two
Hey, what a mistake
Oh, there's no me without you
No me without you
[Outro]
You are the problem
You are the traffic
