Backseat - Kalie Shorr

I stare out the window tracing hearts on the glass

I wish someone would come and color mine in like that

In that Honda Odyssey

Blue backpack and a pink CD

Evey other weekend, but we can’t work it out

Mom’s flipping out on her flip phone

We turn around and go home

Because dad said never mind

As if this fight was ever mine

I just put my headphones on

All I get to pick is the song

Choices are made

But nobody asks me

I watch my life from the backseat

I stare out the window tracing hearts on the glass

In retrospect I wish you had touched me like that

In your daddy’s 4

You kiss me once and lean in more

You’ve always moved too fast

So you moved on so fast

And I’ve needed love since '98

I took it even though it was fake

And if I had my way

It wouldn’t have gone this way

I just put my headphones on

All I get to pick is the song

Choices are made

But nobody asks me

I watch my life from the backseat

I watch my life from the backseat

I just wanna take the wheel

See how having it in my hands feels

Make mistakes that all are mine

Cause at least it was my choice this time

I just put my headphones on

I just put my headphones on

All I get to pick is the song

Choices are made

But nobody asks me

I watch my life from the backseat

I watch my life, I watch my life

I watch my life from the backseat

I watch my life, I watch my life

I watch my life from the backseat
