Backseat

A Relationship Story

I let you lead I take the backseat, and if we crash there's no way that you can catch me. Drive so damn fast if I was late you would have left me... just took some time and you left me.

Where we goin' babe? Doesn't matter but you need to go a little slower. Always think back to the time when I didn't know her; then I got to, from then on we did nothing but grow. Fuck that though, back to where we are about to go... Somewhere down the road with a lot of twists and turns. There's little space, more opportunity for crash and burns. So slow down! That's the last time before I get stern.

Riding in this exotic, open up the sun roof feeling tropic, I'm never not using my logic. But let me stay on topic, as we come down to the end of the road; continue straight turn left or right each route has a price.

I let you lead I take the backseat, and if we crash there's no way that you can catch me. Drive so damn fast if I was late you would have left me... just took some time and you left me.

Riding shotgun thinking 'bout the future; trying to make of the unknown.

We done drove to the store, got food, I smoked some more, put it out cause' I stuffed a cone, Cut it out! She says I'm out the window.

I'm high, and this foreign air I'm not used to this. While you're driving I'm thinking movie scripts and other alias ways we can conquer them. Thinking 'bout the goals and things we gon' be accomplishing; recognized around the world everyone saying Oh wow, how astonishing!

But it seems like we're losing control, can feel something bad is about to unfold, stay strong is advice most have been told. Keep your eyes on the road... NOW WE'RE SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL, ALWAYS KNEW I WASN'T GONNA' DIE OLD!..

keep your eyes on the road...
