"Backseat Driver" lyrics

"Backseat Driver"

They're always in the back room, making out at the bar
Another a blue moon that I'll sip in the dark
While watching some dude, as he's breaking their heart
Say I don't want that but I do

Exchanging numbers while I'm holding my breath
Another summer with no one in my bed
Like any other Saturday with my friends
They're all in love, damn, I wanna be too

Wish I could take control
But I've always been a
Backseat driver, broken-hearted survivor
Watching 'em take the long way home
I wanna know when I'll ride shotgun
Locking my hands with someone
Not sitting in the back alone

I'm tired of
Backseat driving, I'm tired of
Backseat driving, I'm tired of
Backseat driving, I'm tired of
Backseat driving

Somewhere on the road, comatose, in my phone again
Swipe through what I know, running low, I just can't pretend
That I'm not jealous, you're so cool driving reckless
Wonder when I'll be falling just like that

But I've always been a
Backseat driver, broken-hearted survivor
Watching 'em take the long way home
I wanna know when I'll ride shotgun
Locking my hands with someone
Not sitting in the back alone

I'm tired of
Backseat driving, I'm tired of
Backseat driving, I'm tired of
Backseat driving, I'm tired of
Backseat driving

Run the red lights home
I'm tired of being alone
Yeah

Backseat driver, broken-hearted survivor
Watching 'em take the long way home
I wanna know when I'll ride shotgun
Locking my hands with someone
Not sitting in the back alone

I'm tired of
Backseat driving, I'm tired of
Backseat driving, I'm tired of
Backseat driving, I'm tired of
Backseat driving
