Lyrics
A backseat driver, is that all I'll ever be?
A reflection on being a passive participant, questioning if being a backseat driver defines the role in a relationship.
Or can I just stand around and wait until the wheel gets shoved at me?
Contemplating whether to take a proactive role or wait for circumstances to force a change.
I keep thinking about what goes through her head
Reflecting on thoughts about the other person and what they might perceive.
Does she hear how I go on and on and wonder what I just said?
Concern about incessant talking and whether the other person comprehends or is puzzled by the words.
And if she does, does she really want to know?
Questioning if the other person truly wants to understand despite the growing communication barrier.
'cause the barrier of communication keeps wanting to grow
Highlighting the persistent challenge in communication, emphasizing the widening gap.
That gap between us just keeps wanting to grow
Reiterating the increasing distance between the speaker and the other person.
I'd better say it now, or she'll never know
Expressing the urgency to convey a message before it's too late.
I'll just shut my big mouth,
Decision to stop talking to avoid potential misunderstanding.
Because there are no right words
Acknowledging the absence of perfect words for the situation.
There are no right words
Reiteration that there are no ideal words for expressing feelings.
I can't try to untie my tongue,
Feeling unable to articulate thoughts due to a tangled tongue.
Because these words won't ever come
Accepting the difficulty in expressing emotions with words.
Those words
Emphasizing the challenge of finding the right words.
Those right words
Repetition of the struggle to find the perfect words.
Won't ever show up
Asserting that the appropriate words may never materialize.
Am I insane or just a bit far gone?
Questioning one's sanity or emotional state, wondering if attraction is too intense.
Or is the magnet pulling me to her just too fucking strong?
Exploring the magnetic pull towards the other person, contemplating its strength.
I keep wishing and wishing more and more
Expressing a continuous desire and hope for a deeper connection.
I keep wishing
Repetition of the wishful thinking, emphasizing the ongoing desire.
I kept wishing
Further emphasis on the past wishful thinking.
I just wished myself right out the door
Regret over wishing oneself away, possibly referring to distancing from the relationship.
