[hook]
i take the backseat 
driving through the valley in my dads car
i need to be someone else to have your love
lately i feel like i don’t need your love
like i don’t need your love 

[verse 1]
i got a call yesterday 
but i didn’t answer
i’m afraid of the hey
and the everything after 
i hate smalltalk as much as i hate cigarettes

i keep on losing my mind
started putting up signs
down the block on the street
where all the people can see
tell me why is it so hard for me
to just be

[verse 2]
every day’s the same 
i’ve had enough of it 
i’m tired of the voices in my head
that keep me up at night
i try to force a smile
for the family for the friends for all the people
they don’t understand how hard it is to be here for me
this isn’t so easy

[verse 3]
i’ll drop dead in my seventees
wishing for less regret and less enemies
think of all of the days i wasted waiting patiently 
i’ll wish that i could walk back out to live entirely 

another fallback 
need to get you that call back
i can’t spend all of my life 
afraid of taking my calls
stack my fears into a tower in front of me
and they don’t seem so tall anymore

backseat
