Along for the Ride

[Verse 1]
Your mom always liked
The colours that I'd wear
I'd show up at the house
And she'd say she missed me there
I was your sidekick, your right-hand man
You had the blueprints, the better plan

[Chorus]
It was easier to love
Someone else's dream
If all of it blew up
Well, it wouldn't be on me
Body heat on the passenger side
You can't hit the brakes if you're only
Along for the ride

[Verse 2]
Dishes in the sink
I'd always get there first
Put your music on
I can't complain, there's worse
But I knew there was better, too
And it sucks spending time just to lose

[Chorus]
It was easier to love
Someone else's dream
If all of it blew up
Well, it wouldn't be on me
Body heat on the passenger side
You can't hit the brakes if you're only
Along for the ride

[Bridge]
I was escaping my world as I knew it
I just couldn't do it
Yours for the taking
And I smiled right through it
But I kept the bruises
Takes two to crash, but only one to prove it
If there was a way out, I still had to choose it

[Chorus]
And it was easier to love
Someone else's dream
If all of it blew up
At least it wouldn't be on me
Body heat on the passenger side
Can't hit the brakes if you're only
Along for the ride

[Outro]
You can't hit the brakes if you're only along for—
And you know that you're only along for—
Pretending you're not just
Along for the ride
