Backseat Feelings

[Verse 1]

You pull up in that same old ride

But your hands too tight

On the wheel like you're holding in a fight

I can feel what you don't say

And your heart’s in another place

[Pre-Chorus]

Why you always hide your hurt in the backseat?

But you're miles away

And your heart’s in another place

[Pre-Chorus]

Why you always hide your hurt in the backseat?

Why you only cry alone on a bad week?

You ain't gotta carry all of that past you keep

Pass it to me

Pass it to me (yeah)

[Chorus]

Put your backseat feelings in my hands tonight

You ain't gotta drive this pain

Just pull up and ride

Let it all

Let it all

Let it all out

Baby

I can take

I can take what you can't say lately

Put your backseat feelings in my hands tonight

Every heavy little secret you try to hide

Let it all

Let it all

Let it all out

Baby

I can take

I can take what you can't say

Baby

[Verse 2]

You laugh it off

Say it's not that deep

But your voice hits a crack on “I'm fine

Just tired

I need some sleep”

You change the subject at every red light

But your silence keeps screaming all night

You don’t trust anyone to stay

Heard too many “love you’s” slip away

But I'm right here leaning in your lane

Let me shoulder some of that weight

[Pre-Chorus]

Why you always hide your hurt in the backseat?

Why you only break down when you can't breathe?

You ain't gotta carry all of that past you keep

Pass it to me

Pass it to me (oh)

[Chorus]

Put your backseat feelings in my hands tonight

You ain't gotta drive this pain

Just pull up and ride

Let it all

Let it all

Let it all out

Baby

I can take

I can take what you can't say lately

Put your backseat feelings in my hands tonight

Every heavy little secret you try to hide

Let it all

Let it all

Let it all out

Baby

I can take

I can take what you can't say

Baby

[Bridge]

We could park it on a quiet street

Let the engine cool

Let your worries breathe

You don't have to be so strong with me

You don't have to be alone with me (no)

Say the words you’re scared to name

I won't run

I won't look away

Every tear on your face

I’ll trade

I won't run

I won't look away

Every tear on your face

I’ll trade

For a little more of your heart

Your faith (yeah)

[Chorus]

Put your backseat feelings in my hands tonight

You ain't gotta drive this pain

Just pull up and ride

Let it all

Let it all

Let it all out

Baby

I can take

I can take what you can't say lately

Put your backseat feelings in my hands tonight

Every heavy little secret you try to hide

Let it all

Let it all

Let it all out

Baby

I can take

I can take what you can't say

Baby

[Outro]

All your backseat feelings

Leave them here with me

All your backseat feelings

Set your heart hands-free (oh)

All your backseat feelings

Whisper

Talk

Or scream

All your backseat feelings

Put them onto me
