Backseat Driving

Lyrics

[Verse 1:] These slight complications were easy to see But the future and past didn't mean much to me I was lookin' to grow older in a more simplistic way But my fear held me back, got me to where I am today You gotta watch out for any little problems 'Cause one of these days they're gonna come back to haunt you And like a butterfly losing its wings You're gonna fall to the ground, and it'll sting But the friendships I made will help me dearly And my hobbies that I lost will help me see clearly I'm worried that they're gonna find out But that was my fault when I finally came out You know, sometimes I'm left to my own devices And I'm forced to evaluate my sins and vices Like a paper blowin' softly through the wind It's never been easy to turn back again But ya gotta watch out, anxiety is calling Please dial another number, darling! Well that was that my bad, I forgot to call it Paranoid bitches gonna watch me when I'm ballin' [Chorus:] Ugh, well I'm your backseat driver! Ugh, well I'm your backseat driver! Ugh, well I'm your backseat driver! Ugh, well I'm your backseat driver! [Verse 2:] You all think it's nothing that I'm worried 'bout you leavin' Well you might think that now, but listen to my reasons I'll never know what you're thinking For all I know you are dissing Well I got a bit more confidence than that But what I have in confidence in mental strength I lack I gotta feel the wind patterns Do your words matter? Something calls it back again I want you to leave, you're not my friend! [Chorus:] Ugh, well I'm your backseat driver! Ugh, well I'm your backseat driver! Ugh, well I'm your backseat driver! Ugh, well I'm your backseat driver! [Bridge:] And this is the simplest story I've ever told I watched the plot pieces slowly unfold But every passing day is a new cliffhanger And this ain't no Netflix, and I ain't no binge-watcher If everybody doesn't care as much as I do Then it must mean I don't matter much to them But if I simply prove to everyone I'm ready to I'm sure they'll all accept me as their friend [Outro:] Presentations, invitations Resignations, designations Someone warned me way back when You know you're gonna lose your friends I hold on to every memory Even the ones I said I'd forget Everything I did is the world to me Despite what makes me cringe You know that you are my very best friends My conscience is eating at what I pretend Isn't happening, but I know that it is happening Please, man, convince me this isn't happening You have words that are quite persuasive If only my fears weren't so pervasive
