I've been damned with bad luck
I'm bummed 'cause I'm fucked up
I'm insecure, I'm growing cold everyday
You keep calling me over
But I can never be sober
To talk to you, I drink my fears away
You drive me home
Down that dark and narrow road
My gut is telling me something
I just gotta let you know
What I want, what I feel
You made my night surreal
But I'm too quiet in the passenger seat
I'm always conflicted
Whenever you're around me
I know you want someone else instead
I just really wanna get stoned
But I don't wanna break my own
Promises to get your face out my head
I wanna do donuts
Then flip my car on the freeway
But I don't how to drive
So I can't do it anyway
Lie about how I feel,
Say it felt unreal
And then, chill out in the passenger seat
Don't want this time to end
Don't wanna say I'm leaving
We should stay out and drive in the night
I swear I felt something
Hope it's more than nothing
I should give it up and get a life
But I'm trying to keep you satisfied
You drove me home
When I felt so alone
I just wanna tell you something
But I think you always know
What I want, what I feel
You make me feel surreal
So, I'll stay quiet for the rest of the drive
