And it seems you wanna have me
No matter where I go
There's a future I can't know and
How? How should I know?
How? How? How? How?
Now it seems you wanna love me
Add a future, facing down
Add a fall, it's coming 'round and
Where will I go?
How? How? How? How?
And you're telling me I'm grown
How sweet? Life in the backseat
And it's happening again
And it's happening again
And you're carrying me home
How sweet? Life in the backseat
And it's happening again
And it's happening again
Devotion will be the death of me
I could blow those fucking windows out
Leave them dragging down the road
Your affliction isn't mine to hold and
How? How should I know how to?
How? How? How? How?
And you're telling mе I'm grown
How sweet? Life in the backseat
And it's happеning again
And it's happening again
And you're carrying me home
How sweet? Life in the backseat
And it's happening again
And it's happening again
Devotion will be the death of me
Don't you deal me no favors
Don't you sell me no lie
I'll call you back when I'm sober
Oh, at some other time
Hear the lightning inside you
But it's never alright
And I'm no winner, I'm no winner
I'm no winner, I'm no winner
Lazy and strong
I've been away too long
And you're telling me I'm grown
How sweet? Life in the backseat
And it's happening again
And it's happening again
And you're carrying me home
How sweet? Life in the backseat
And it's happening again
And it's happening again
Devotion will be the death of me
Devotion will be the death of me
Devotion will be the death of me
Devotion will be the death of me
