[Verse 1] It was like someone's riding in my car And I know I did you crazy Care about your safety Hope you got your seatbelt on Feeling [?] to pump the brakes I let you get away, so It ain't up to me, sweetheart Damn, I wish I would've played my part I should've trusted my gut Can't be mad, got left in the dust, baby [Pre-Chorus] Thought I couldn't lose my spot And my seat would still be there It's clear that there's a new driver So I'll just watch from here Didn't know that my worst fear Was you to up and leave, just switch gears Now I'm paying for the pain I took you through [Chorus] So I'm taking the backseat Seeing this, no room up front for me Guess I'm taking the backseat Since I can't ride with you shotgun, baby Since I lost my fuse Can't fulfill my place So I'm taking the backseat Messed up and gotta watch it all From the backseat [Verse 2] I should've stayed on track 'Cause I knew that you were different Speeding through those women Got you never looking back When I should've stayed committed Make it to the finish But I ain't in the run no more 'Cause I know that you've been keeping score I know that he's in first place Can't be mad, I pushed you away [Pre-Chorus] Thought I couldn't lose my spot And my seat would still be there It's clear that there's a new driver So I'll just watch from here
Didn't know that my worst fear Was you to up and leave, just switch gears Now I'm paying for the pain I took you through [Chorus] So I'm taking the backseat Seeing this, no room up front for me Guess I'm taking the backseat Since I can't ride with you shotgun, baby Since I lost my fuse Can't fulfill my place So I'm taking the backseat Messed up and gotta watch it all From the backseat [Bridge] Didn't know the steering, let go of the wheel Went out of control You're pushing the limit, hurting your feelings Lessons has been revoked How could I think you would stay? Now I'm living with my mistakes And I'm all alone Wishing my pa**enger was you I guess I'm, I guess I'm Guess I'm taking the backseat, yeah I guess I'm, I guess I'm... [Chorus] So I'm taking the backseat Seeing this, no room up front for me Guess I'm taking the backseat Since I can't ride with you shotgun, baby Since I lost my fuse Can't fulfill my place So I'm taking the backseat Messed up and gotta watch it all From the backseat So I'm taking the backseat Seeing this, no room up front for me Guess I'm taking the backseat Since I can't ride with you shotgun, baby Since I lost my fuse Can't fulfill my place So I'm taking the backseat Messed up and gotta watch it all From the backseat [Outro] Said, I guess I Guess I'm taking the backseat
