Backseat Of My Mind

(album: Meanjin - 2022)

Doesn't matter how long it takes
But I know I'll get there soon
I've been looking the wrong way
At the other side of the moon

It's not easy to leave it
Thought I'd know where I'm going
I could hold the wheel forever
If I knew you'd be there too

I'm driving forward
To a beautiful place I know
And I've been crying
As I look in the rearview mirror
I leave it behind
In the backseat of my mind

Saw a man hitchhiking
On the road along the way
Reminded me of my father
In his younger days

It's not easy to leave it
But I know where we're going
I could hold the wheel forever
If I knew you'd be there too

I'm driving forward
To a beautiful place I know
And I've been crying
As I look in the rearview mirror
I leave it behind
In the backseat of my mind
The backseat of my mind

It's not easy to leave it
But I know where we're going
I could hold the wheel forever
If I knew you'd be there too

I'm driving forward
To a beautiful place I know
And I've been crying
As I look in the rearview mirror
I leave it behind
In the backseat of my mind
In the backseat of my mind
The backseat of my mind

(In the backseat, in the backseat
In the backseat) of my mind
(In the backseat, in the backseat
In the backseat) of my mind
(In the backseat, in the backseat
In the backseat) of my mind
(In the backseat, in the backseat)
Oh, of my, of my mind
Backseat of my mind
Of my mind
Of my, of my mind
Backseat of my mind
