[Verse 1]
You left your coat on my chair
Coffee stain on the sleeve
I stare
At the dent in the wall from that June fight
Every mark in this place says your name right
[Chorus]
You’re the salt in the passenger seat
Cut in my hand every time that I clean
I keep swearing I’ll throw you away
But I circle the block and I park in the same place
You’re the song that I can’t skip through
Hate every word but it still sounds like you
If I’m honest
I don’t wanna be free
You’re the salt in the passenger seat (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Your spare key still hangs on my ring
I talk to the air like you’ll answer things
Laugh at jokes that you’d say
Then I choke up
Even silence here feels like it’s filled up
[Chorus]
You’re the salt in the passenger seat
Cut in my hand every time that I clean
I keep swearing I’ll throw you away
But I circle the block and I park in the same place
You’re the song that I can’t skip through
Hate every word but it still sounds like you
If I’m honest
I don’t wanna be free
You’re the salt in the passenger seat (oh)
[Bridge]
I drag your box to the front door
Stand there shaking
Then I drop it on the floor
Tell my friends I’m fine
I’m past this
Then I find your note in my jacket
Last kiss
[Chorus]
You’re the salt in the passenger seat
Cut in my hand every time that I clean
I keep swearing I’ll throw you away
But I circle the block and I park in the same place
You’re the song that I can’t skip through
Hate every word but it still sounds like you
If I’m honest
I don’t wanna be free
You’re the salt in the passenger seat
Yeah
You’re the salt in the passenger seat (oh no)
And I still drive like you’re next to me
