Passenger Seat

We called it a party, even though everybody was sad
You showed up with some coffee, started moving at 7 am
You were having trouble sleeping, I was having trouble keeping still
When we talk it’s like a meeting, full of budgets and utility bills
Driving on the highway home, this time alone
Doesn’t mean the same without you
I turned on the radio to something slow
Just to let it fuck with my mood
And songs don’t sound the same
Without you in the passenger seat
Without you in the passenger seat
We made a deal when we started, and we knew it would take some work
Every day was like a party, and living life with no concern
I remember the feeling of driving to my parents place
I’d lean on in to kiss you, see the gap toothed smile on your face
Driving on the highway home, this time alone
Doesn’t mean the same without you
I turned on the radio to something slow
Just to let it fuck with my mood
And songs don’t sound the same
Without you in the passenger seat
Without you
You and I always laughed at the system
No, we wouldn’t be just another statistic
We said those things, all those years ago
I read some things I shouldn’t have seen
And you look like you’ve given up trying
You think I don’t care when you walk in the room
Katie just tell me, now, what can I do?
Driving on the highway home, this time alone
Doesn’t mean the same without you
I turned on the radio to something slow
Just to let it fuck with my mood
When the road starts to bend and the signal ends
And only static’s coming through
I think about the things you said, they echo in my head
I’m alone because I know it’s true
And songs don’t sound the same
Without you in the passenger seat
Without you in the passenger seat
