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
