Here I lay
Still and breathless
Just like always
Still, I want some more
Mirrors sideways
Who cares what's behind?
Just like always
Still your passenger

Chrome buttons, buckles and leather surfaces
These and other lucky witnesses
Now to calm me
This time won't you please
Drive faster

Roll the window down this
Cool night air is curious
Let the whole world look in
Who cares who sees anything?
I'm your passenger
I'm your passenger

Drop these down
Then put them on me
Nice, cool seats
There to cushion your knees
Now to calm me
Take me around again
Don't pull over
This time won't you please
Drive faster

Roll the window down this
Cool night air is curious
Let the whole world look in
Who cares who sees what tonight?
Roll these misty windows
Down to catch my breath and then
Go and go and go just
Drive me home and back again

Here I lay
Just like always
Don't let me
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go
Take me to the edge

    This reminds me of a potential relationship that never quite came to fruition or really transpired at all. To me, this person singing the song seems like they've never been in control of the relationship really. We've all been told that how people should be equals but you see that is rarely the case and why people have conflict. One always has more power at a ceratin time and than the roles reverse. I suppose that the one's where one person always remains in control and has the upper hand are the ones that last, as sad as that sounds. They established their roles and submitted to them. On a personal note, this song brings me back to a time in this unfulfilled partnership where we were driving together. And you know the feeling when a relationship is starting to begin. Both people went to turn the knob at the same time. Had I sat back and been the passenger in that very moment, things could of been different. But two people with two strong personalities, just can't get it together or really going ever. And I knew at that moment, things would never been the same. Point is, people don't always need to be in control or they have to be or feel in complete control, or it's doomed from the start.
