[Intro]
[(turn signal… tires on pavement…)
I always think the clearest
When nobody’s riding with me..
[Verse 1]
Windows cracked, radio low
Got nowhere that I gotta go
Streetlights painting every lane
Trying to organize my brain
One hand sitting on the wheel
One hand wondering what’s real
Another night, another drive
Just trying to feel alive
Everybody wants the highlights
Nobody wants the midnight
Nobody sees the conversations
Happening behind these headlights
[Pre-Chorus]
Funny how the quiet…
Always tells the truth
[Chorus]
Who’s in the passenger seat tonight?
Fear or hope?
Wrong or right?
Every mile feels like another choice
Trying to hear my own voice
Who’s in the passenger seat tonight?
Maybe…
It’s finally me.
[Verse 2]
Passed the places I’ve been before
Different roads, same open doors
Thinking ‘bout the man I’ll be
Five years down the street from me
Apartment keys inside my coat
Lyrics filling up my notes
Talking ’bout forever now
Still don’t know exactly how
But maybe that’s alright
Maybe growing takes some time
Maybe every late-night drive
Is leading somewhere by design
[Bridge]
If tomorrow never promises
That everything will change…
Maybe all I need tonight
Is enough gas
To keep driving.
[Final Chorus]
Who’s in the passenger seat tonight?
Not the fear
That stole my nights
Not every voice
That told me quit
Not every battle
I couldn’t win
Who’s in the passenger seat tonight?
Hope finally showed up.
And I think…
I’m gonna let him stay.
[Outro]
[(car engine shuts off)]
Guess I’ll head inside…
See you tomorrow night…
