Backseat Driver Lyrics by Young Costello

Stories Told, Some New, Some Old

2022

[Chorus]
I feel my body getting colder
Looks like I’m never getting sober
I can’t slow down til the brake lights fade away
Heaven knows tomorrow there’ll be hell to pay
[Verse 1]
So I bow my worried head
And inhale the night’s prescription
Then eyes begin to water
Guess we’re having too much fun
The hand of my moral compass
Slowly bends until it breaks
Let it wash away
My honesty
I hear you laughing in the distance now
Maybe I’m paranoid
A wreck, by all accounts
I tried so hard not to get lost in the sound
Now I’m trappеd here in the backsеat
And hell is where we’re bound
[Chorus]
I feel my body getting colder
Looks like I’m never getting sober
I can’t slow down til the brake lights fade away
Heaven knows tomorrow there’ll be hell to pay
[Verse 2]
Am I blinded by my impulses
Or are we both blind from yours
Will they find me unresponsive
Lying on the hardwood floor
I’ll have one last cigarette
Then watch the ashes turn to dust
Let it wash away
What’s left of me
She hears me pacing in the distance now
Stop signs and traffic lights could never slow us down
Feels like I’m lost and now I’ll never be found
Now I’m trapped here in the backseat
And hell is where we’re bound
[Breakdown]
There are no excuses to make anymore
I lost my way
And led that demon through the open door
Devil on my shoulder
The voice inside my head
Are we having fun yet?
[Bridge]
I guess you had your own agenda
Not sure exactly what that means for me
I can’t slow down til it all fades away
This ain’t how it’s supposed to be
This same old story that we all hate to tell
Did the devil grant your wish?
Or did you drown in the well?
I’m so tired of feeling nothing
Let me speak for myself
Oh, heaven knows…
Oh, heaven knows…
[Chorus]
I feel my body getting colder
Looks like I’m never getting sober
I can’t slow down til the brake lights fade away
Heaven knows tomorrow there’ll be hell to pay
[Breakdown]
I will make no excuses
I’ll tell you no more lies
I made this bed in which I cannot sleep tonight
It’s finally over
The car begins to slow
I’d still rather die than feel alone
