Passenger

On the road alone
Driving free and clear
Heavy foot heavy heart
But I feel you near
Objects in the mirror are farther than they appear
Objects in the mirror are not what they appear

I see the sky and the ocean
The rise and the fall
What my mind regrets
My heart accepts
Passing witness to the crazy costume ball
Lonely witness to the beauty of it all

Though you're not there, I turn to stare
No matter where you are
I drive with you everywhere
The passenger in my car
The passenger of my heart

It's been 5 years since I've seen you
People ask why I don't grieve you
The secret’s not plain to see
I carry you dear to me
I carry you here in the shotgun seat next to me
Ever present right hand girl here next to me

Though you're not there, I turn to stare
No matter where you are
I drive with you everywhere
The passenger in my car
The passenger of my heart

On the road to somewhere
Into the great wide open
Where I go I don't care
But I won’t give up hoping
But with you at my side I'll drive all night to get there
With you inside I'll drive all night to the heart of nowhere

Though you're not there, I turn to stare
No matter where you are
I drive with you everywhere
The passenger in my car
The passenger of my heart
The passenger of my heart
Shotgun of my heart
