Passenger Seat - Arkells

We called it a party, even though everybody was sad

You showed up with some coffee, started moving at 7 am

You were having trouble sleeping, I was having trouble keeping still

When we talk it’s like a meeting, full of budgets and utility bills

Driving on the highway home, this time alone

Doesn’t mean the same without you

I turned on the radio to something slow

Just to let it fuck with my mood

And songs don’t sound the same

Without you in the passenger seat

Without you in the passenger seat

We made a deal when we started, and we knew it would take some work

Every day was like a party, and living life with no concern

I remember the feeling of driving to my parents place

I’d lean on in to kiss you, see the gap toothed smile on your face

Driving on the highway home, this time alone

Doesn’t mean the same without you

I turned on the radio to something slow

Just to let it fuck with my mood

And songs don’t sound the same

Without you in the passenger seat

Without you

You and I always laughed at the system

No, we wouldn’t be just another statistic

We said those things, all those years ago

I read some things I shouldn’t have seen

And you look like you’ve given up trying

You think I don’t care when you walk in the room

Katie just tell me, now, what can I do?

Driving on the highway home, this time alone

Doesn’t mean the same without you

I turned on the radio to something slow

Just to let it fuck with my mood

When the road starts to bend and the signal ends

And only static’s coming through

I think about the things you said, they echo in my head

I’m alone because I know it’s true

And songs don’t sound the same

Without you in the passenger seat

Without you in the passenger seat
