Passenger

On the road alone
Drivin' free and clear
Heavy foot, heavy heart
But I feel
You near
Objects in the mirror
Are farther than they appear
Objects in the mirror are not what they
Appear
I see the sky and the ocean
The rise and the fall
What my mind regrets
My heart, it accepts
Passing witness to
The crazy costume ball
The lowly witness to the beauty of it all
When you’re not there
I turn to stare
No matter where you are
I drive with you everywhere
The passenger in my car
The passenger of my heart
It’s been 5 years since I’ve seen ya
People ask why I don’t grieve you
The secrets not plain to see
I carry you dear to me
I carry you near in the shotgun seat
Right here next to me
Ever present right hand girl right here, next to me
When you’re not there
I turn to stare
No matter where you are
I drive with you everywhere
The passenger in my car
The passenger of my heart
On the road to somewhere
Into the great wide open
Where I go, I don’t care
But I won’t give up hopin'
With you at my side
I’ll drive all night to get there
With you inside I’ll drive all night to the heart of nowhere
When you’re not there
I turn to share
No matter where you are
I drive with you everywhere
The passenger in my car
The passenger of my heart
Passenger of my heart
Shotgun of my heart
