Backseat

As we drive on the seemingly endless road, we pick up hitchhikers along the way, sharing the arduous task of safely navigating away from the elusive potholes. Sometimes, when we pass the steering wheel to someone else and take a backseat, to enjoy the passing landscapes, it is a relief and realization; that new perspectives open themselves up to us.

Being a backseat passenger does not mean zero contribution, for we can plot out the route ahead with a clearer mind, over a tunnel vision developed from a fixation of just getting to the destination.

It was a pity though, that it took me so long to realize this, causing unnecessary arguments. I hope that the rest realize this too, so that we can reach the destination together, in harmony.

I try to smile my tears away
I try to keep my cool
Oh but one more door gets in my way
I feel like such a fool
Trampled and bitter
My heart just wants to bleed and stop
Believing in me

It feels like nothing is for certain
And that nothing comes for free
When they're lowering the curtain
To the theatre of my dreams
I stumble and I crumble and I'm
Sinking to my knees but you
You cradle me

You keep me flying
You keep me smiling
You keep me safe in a crazy world
You understand me
Embrace my fragility
You keep me safe in a crazy world
And in your arms I find the strength
To believe in me again

Noise keeps chasing me
No matter where I go
Oh and life likes pretending that it's
On a TV show
When it's hard to tell what's real
From what the world just wants to preach
You are the voice I seek

You keep me flying
You keep me smiling
You keep me safe in a crazy world
You understand me
Embrace my fragility
You keep me safe in a crazy world

'cause when I'm wrapped up in your arms
Nothing else can touch me
What a wonderful way to recharge
I feel like I can breathe again

You keep me flying
You keep me smiling
You keep me safe in a crazy world
You understand me
Embrace my fragility
You keep me safe in a crazy world
And in your arms I find the strength
To believe in me again
