Passenger Seat

[Verse 1]
Wake up in a sweat in the morning
Been holding my tongue
Now I shout in my sleep
You've got some nerve and you know it
Taping my mouth every time that I speak

[Pre-Chorus]
You can't be alone
Taking a drive just to blow off some steam
So I'll tag along

[Chorus]
Driving along, head to your gun
I swallow my words, always keeping the peace
But I think I'm done holding my tongue
Fighting back tears in the passenger seat

[Verse 2]
You constantly crave my attention
Carefully craft all your words to hurt me
Sharpen the edge so I'll listen
But not quite sharp enough that I'll leave
You're loving my silence
You fill it with your aspirations and dreams
Demand my compliance
'Cause you know you'll never reach them without me

[Chorus]
Driving along, head to your gun
I swallow my words, always keeping the peace
But I think I'm done holding my tongue
Fighting back tears in the passenger seat

[Bridge]
So I let it out, I've already won
I drop your baggage with which you've burdened me
Step out your shadow and into the sun
I'm exactly who you were afraid I could be (Ahh)

[Chorus]
Driving along, head to your gun
I swallow my words, always keeping the peace
But I think I'm done holding my tongue
Fighting back tears in the passenger seat
