Can't Steer

Verse 1

Parallel park and I hit the curb again

Crying in the seat right in front of the test man

He shook his head and he handed me the paper

Red ink bleeding like my hopes for later

You're at the house waiting for the good news

But I'm in the driveway stuck in the same blues

Chorus

I failed my driver's test again today

I guess I'm stuck here watching you walk away

Don't tell me you love me, I'll dream of us old

While I'm in the passenger seat shivering cold

You hold the keys to the future we planned

But I can't even steer with my own two hands

Verse 2

My mother says that I just need some practice

But every sharp turn feels sharp like a cactus

You look at me like I'm breaking your schedule

A twenty-year-old who is still unpredictable

I put on my mascara just to watch it run down

Trapped in the passenger side of this town

Chorus

I failed my driver's test again today

I guess I'm stuck here watching you walk away

Don't tell me you love me, I'll dream of us old

While I'm in the passenger seat shivering cold

You hold the keys to the future we planned

But I can't even steer with my own two hands

Outro

Red lights flashing in the back of my mind

I'm always the one who is falling behind

Don't start the car if you're leaving me here

I'm sick of the breakdown, the brake, and the gear
