Lyrics

Backseat Driver

Cover me with wallpaper
And worry about me later
Ignore what I have to say
It's not important anyway
And I've always, always been like this
A natural born apologist
Have I always lived my life like this?
Yes I have and that's the way that I like it
I like driving the car from the backseats
Where nobody will notice me
Want the peace and the quiet of the back streets
Won't you hop in front and ride with me
And last night
I came to terms with who I am
And I felt like a brand new man
I'm understanding, I'm unique
And it really brightens up my week
Won't you take the light from me
Take some of my life from me
Won't you take all the delight from me"
