Shadow In Your Passenger Seat

[Intro]
[whispered vocals]
Lock the door
Check it twice
You still missed me
Every time
[Verse 1]
Saw you dog-ear every page
Marking scenes you’d never say out loud
Bookmark boys with wicked hands
Close the cover
Still you dream too loud
You trace cuffs in the margin
Highlight every filthy line
Then you walk home like you’re harmless
But I’ve been walking right behind
[Pre-Chorus]
You like to flirt with danger
From the comfort of your bed
I’m the fantasy made solid
Breathing inches from your neck
[Chorus]
I’m the shadow in your passenger seat
Hand on the wheel
Hand on your knees
You wrote the script
I just stepped in the scene
Tell me “stop” with that shaking voice
While your fingers pull me closer like a choice
You invited every monster you meet
I’m the shadow in your passenger seat
[Verse 2]
Watch you drop your little hints
Stories open on your phone
Tabs of chains and twisted kings
Say you only read them when you’re alone
But you linger by the streetlight
Slow your steps when footsteps sound
You dress your fear in black lace
Then pretend you don’t look around
[Pre-Chorus]
You keep feeding all your secrets
To the hunger in those lines
I’ve been learning every weakness
Every gasp between your sighs
[Chorus]
I’m the shadow in your passenger seat
Hand on the wheel
Hand on your knees
You wrote the script
I just stepped in the scene
Tell me “stop” with that shaking voice
While your fingers pull me closer like a choice
You invited every monster you meet
I’m the shadow in your passenger seat
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Door clicks
Heart skips
You don’t run
You lean into it
“Should be scared”
That’s what you say
But your pupils beg me
“Don’t you ever go away”
You’ve underlined this moment
Every night between the lines
Now it’s teeth against your shoulder
And your name caught in a bind
[Chorus]
[Chorus]

rock, Brooding alt-pop rock with male vocals; low tuned guitars and a sparse verse groove that lets the vocal sit almost spoken, then a surge of wide distorted power chords and tom-heavy drums in the chorus. Sub-bass pulses under a minimal, sensual beat; breaths and doubled whispers tucked in the sides. Final chorus hits hardest with stacked harmonies and a gritty, saturated lead, then cuts to a dry, intimate vocal on the last line., pop, theme
