lyrics

When I met you, we ignited and I was firing on all cylinders. Counting the moments til my panic reared its ugly head. Now let me introduce you to this guy I know; you may have already met My mouthy little mess who won’t get off my back, who won’t let me ride solo.
Cause I know, I know you wanna buckle up, start this journey and have fun; I can hear you gunning that engine, but my parasitic twin’s all packed, and he’s already called shotgun.

I can’t recall a time he wasn’t talking back to nearly every word that I say. His voice is small and cracked, but not much different from mine. Yes, we have mishaps all the time when I’m just the Christian to his Cyrano. It can be difficult not to heed his bad advice. Cause I know, I know you wanna stay the course on a voyage that’s already begun. You know I think you’re great, but this parasitic jerk’s first mate And he’s already called shotgun.

Yes, I tried to cut him off, but he always sticks around. And I try to shut him up, but that only makes him loud. And I try to bottle up, but it only comes back out. And you didn’t sign up for this, so maybe it’d be better if we just slowed this down.

I know you wanna sweep me off on a big white horse at a full run. You can try to gallop in, but my parasitic twin’s dead weight, and he’s already called shotgun. He’s already called shotgun , shotgun, shotgun.

I wouldn’t dream of repeating his soft and ugly lies. I know he’s wrong about me; how could he be right? But when he mouths off and just speaks his ugly mind, it really makes me paralyzed. Turn up the radio to drown him out and we’ll just drive. Cause I know, I know you want to blast right off on a rocket Straight to the long run. You can try to plot a course, but my Number One’s on the bridge and he’s already called shotgun.
