Backseat Driver

Well I'm going against my better judgement here And telling you all of my mistakes I'll do it on my own terms though Because I don't want to get too close for too long I know with each word I speak your heart breaks So I'm pulling away with every ounce of strength I can muster Because honesty nowadays lacks a certain shade of luster And I'm terrified of our future together This January air makes it too cold to catch my breath But my lungs are burning with a sense of urgency And I'm unable to breathe I can't help but to speak faster, revealing all of my skeletons But I'm drawing in closer to you When all I want is to settle down in this backseat away from view I'm failing at keeping my distance Because this wasn't the way things were meant to be said
