[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Lessons has been revoked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
