Lyrics

Feels like someone's riding in my car
And I know I did you crazy, care about your safety
Hope you got your seatbelt on
Really wanna pump the brakes, I let you get away, so
It ain't up to me, sweetheart
Damn, I wish I would've played my part
I should've trusted my gut
Can't be mad, got left in the dust, baby
Thought I couldn't lose my spot and my seat would still be there
It's clear that there's a new driver so I'll just watch from here
Didn't know that my worst fear was you to up and leave
Just switch gears, now I'm paying for the pain I took you through
So I'm taking the backseat
Seeing there's no room up front for me
Guess I'm taking the backseat
Since I can't ride with you shotgun, baby
Since I lost my view, someone new came to fill my place
So I'm taking the backseat
Messed up and gotta watch it all from the backseat
(Telling myself) I should've stayed on track
'Cause I know that you were different, speeding through those women
Got you never looking back
When I should've stayed committed, made it to the finish
But I ain't in the run no more
'Cause I know that you been keeping score
I know that he's in first place
Can't be mad, I pushed you away
Thought I couldn't lose my spot and my seat would still be there
It's clear that there's a new driver so I'll just watch from here
Didn't know that my worst fear was you to up and leave
Just switch gears, now I'm paying for the pain I took you through
So I'm taking the backseat
Seeing there's no room up front for me
Guess I'm taking the backseat
Since I can't ride with you shotgun, baby
Since I lost my view, someone new came to fill my place
So I'm taking the backseat
Messed up and gotta watch it all from the backseat
Didn't know the steering, let go and the wheel went out of control
Keep pushing the limit, hurting your feelings
License has been revoked
How could I think you would stay?
Now I'm living with my mistakes
And I'm all alone wishing my passenger was you
I guess I, I guess I
Guess I'm taking the backseat, yeah
I guess I, I guess I
So I'm taking the backseat
Seeing there's no room up front for me
Guess I'm taking the backseat
Since I can't ride with you shotgun, baby
Since I lost my view, someone new came to fill my place
So I'm taking the backseat
Messed up and gotta watch it all from the backseat
So I'm taking the backseat
Seeing there's no room up front for me
Guess I'm taking the backseat
Since I can't ride with you shotgun, baby
Since I lost my view, someone new came to fill my place
So I'm taking the backseat
Messed up and gotta watch it all from the backseat
Said I guess I, guess I'm taking the backseat
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
