Verse 1
You call me up when you’ve had a long day,
Say, “Let’s get out of here, just drive away.”
So I pull up outside and you jump right in,
Same old smile that gets me every time again.
Got your feet on the dash, picking all the songs,
Making fun of me when I sing along,
And I swear every mile goes way too fast,
’Cause I never want moments like this to pass.
Pre-Chorus
You don’t even know what you do to me,
How one look can steal all my sanity.
Chorus
My passenger princess, riding shotgun tonight,
Got the city lights dancing in your eyes.
And I’m trying so hard not to cross that line,
Not to tell you what’s running through my mind.
‘Cause if I say it out loud, what if everything shifts?
What if I lose all of this?
So I keep driving on, pretending I’m alright,
While my heart’s falling for my passenger princess tonight.
Verse 2
We talk about everything under the moon,
The things we’re scared of, the things we wanna do.
You’ve seen me at my best and at my worst,
And somehow you never judge me first.
Sometimes you lean your head against the glass,
And I wonder if you’ve ever thought about us,
Or if I’m the only one getting lost
In feelings I never meant to catch.
Pre-Chorus
Every laugh, every touch, every memory we make,
Makes this harder to fake.
Chorus
My passenger princess, riding shotgun tonight,
Got the city lights dancing in your eyes.
And I’m trying so hard not to cross that line,
Not to tell you what’s running through my mind.
‘Cause if I say it out loud, what if everything shifts?
What if I lose all of this?
So I keep driving on, pretending I’m alright,
While my heart’s falling for my passenger princess tonight.
Bridge
Maybe one day at a red light,
I’ll finally say what’s on my mind.
Maybe you’ll smile and say you’ve known,
Maybe I won’t have to feel alone.
Or maybe I’ll keep taking the long way home,
Just to spend a little more time with you.
Final Chorus
My passenger princess, riding shotgun tonight,
And I don’t wanna hide behind these headlights.
‘Cause every road I’ve ever taken somehow leads to you,
No matter what I do.
So if I find the courage, if I finally take that risk,
I hope you’re feeling this.
Until then I’ll keep driving through these midnight skies,
Falling harder for my passenger princess every night.
Outro
The engine hums, the radio plays,
You’re right beside me like always.
And if you ever ask what my favourite place is,
It’s wherever you are in that passenger seat.
