Lyrics
I’ve been riding shotgun in my own damn life Watching the road but never steering right Someone else’s hands are on the wheel I know where we’re going, doesn’t match how I feel Windows down but I can’t breathe the air Destination set but I don’t want to go there
I can see the turn we should take But I’m just along for the ride, yeah
Stuck in the passenger seat Of the life I’m supposed to lead Someone else is driving me To places I don’t want to be I can see the road ahead so clear But these hands aren’t mine to steer Stuck in the passenger seat And I’m losing me
They mapped it out before I could decide Career, house, routine, all those lines inside Playing it safe on the highway they chose But I’m dying slow on this road everyone knows GPS says success but it feels like a cage Reading from a script on someone else’s page
I know the exits that we pass But I’m just watching them go by
Stuck in the passenger seat Of the life I’m supposed to lead Someone else is driving me To places I don’t want to be I can see the road ahead so clear But these hands aren’t mine to steer Stuck in the passenger seat And I’m losing me
What if I just grabbed the wheel? What if I made this thing real? What if I said no more? What if I opened the door?
This is my life, my road to take My choice, my turn, my own mistakes I’d rather crash on my terms than ride To somewhere safe where my dreams have died
Done with the passenger seat! This is MY life to lead! I’m taking back the wheel from you! Driving to where I want to! I can see MY road ahead now clear! And these hands were meant to steer! Done with the passenger seat! I’m finally free!
Passenger seat’s empty now I’m behind the wheel somehow Don’t know where this road will go But it’s mine and that’s all I need to know
