lyrics

i’ll take the backseat
on this one
haven’t gotten this high
in so long
gonna let my friends drive
listen for the first time
let go of control
put my brain on hold

i saw the aura of a horse’s head
inside my eyes
i watched it change into the shape
of what was on my mind
i thought that i was in love
with Philadelphia
until i sobered up from all of the
dru-uh-hugs
enough already, i’m already enough
no sign of substance unless i’m fucked up
i wanna love more, miss less
resist my bed and learn a thing or two
cos i got no clue

i’ll take the backseat
on this one
haven’t gotten this high
in so long
gonna let my friends drive
listen for the first time
let go of control
put my brain on hold

when does passion
become obsession
is it when i defend
your actions no questions
(now i know, now you know)

that me is the problem
avoiding my problems
i will never tell you when you’re wrong
i enable, i am partial
all for what
i don’t speak up
i fucking suck
and it seems i’m
afraid to say
this to your face
i think a functional dynamic is one
open to challenge where we
can trust each other to not
exploit each other and we
can grow instead
of hiding in our heads like
strangers. we’ve learned
fake words. we were
partners don’t you remember?
before dungeon winters
indoor torture
anguishing for the promise
of a summertime spring

so i’ll take the backseat
on this one
haven’t gotten this high
in so long
gonna let my friends drive
listen for the first time
let go of control
put my brain on hold.
