Backseat Drivers Lyrics by King Ibis

2019

Hidden in the masses, I'll stay hidden in the crowd
Cause I don't make connections with the people I'm around
And I don't make a sound
I'll just stay hidden in the masses I'll stay hidden in the crowd
Until I make it in their circle I'll be no-one, it's too bad
I've just gone and swallowed up my own tongue
And the sweat is only building up, and not from the sun
Silent I'll stay looking in, as no-one
[Chorus]
The driver's in the back, talking smack
When did they get in? I'm basing every choice on their voice
And man it starts to sting
When they tell me to be, I should be, anything but me
They tell me I should be anything, anything but me
No stopping Mr Loneliness, as he follows me around
And over all the talking he must think he has to shout
I taste it in my mouth
The chocolate coated doubt
[Pre-Chorus]
Until I make the inner circle I'll be no-one, it's too late
I've just gone and swallowed up my own tongue
And the sweat is only building up, and not from the sun
[?] Stay looking in, as no-one
[Chorus]
The driver's in the back, talking smack
When did they get in? I'm basing every choice on their voice
And man it starts to sting
When they tell me to be, I should be, anything but me
They tell me I should be anything, anything but me
Time to slow right down
I've got to turn myself around
And if I want them out
Then I've got to be loud
I've got to shout
To shout, to shout
I've got to shout
To shout, to shout
I've got to shout
To shout, to shout
[Chorus]
The driver's in the back, talking smack
When did they get in? I'm basing every choice on their voice
And man it starts to sting
When they tell me to be, I should be, anything but me
They tell me I should be anything, anything but me
