Front Seat Princess

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There was a time that seat beside me Held a backpack and a coat Fast food napkins, grocery lists And little things I'd never note Then somewhere in the passing years Without a meeting or decree You quietly assumed command And made that space a home for me [Pre-Chorus] Now I reach across and open up the door Like it's something I've been doing all my life [Chorus] She's my front seat princess Window halfway down, singing every word Telling stories that I've somehow never heard Making ordinary moments feel tremendous My front seat princess Doesn't need a crown to rule the ride She's got a kingdom on the passenger side Funny how a seat became a place of endless bliss My front seat princess [Verse 2] She knows exactly where the snacks are Knows which station I will choose Knows the roads that calm my thinking Knows the exits that I lose Sometimes we drive and barely speak Sometimes we solve the universe Sometimes we're laughing so hard together The next red light just makes it worse [Pre-Chorus] And every mile feels shorter than before When she's sitting there beside me in the light [Chorus] She's my front seat princess Window halfway down, singing every word Telling stories that I've somehow never heard Making ordinary moments feel tremendous My front seat princess Doesn't need a crown to rule the ride She's got a kingdom on the passenger side Funny how a seat became a place of endless bliss My front seat princess [Bridge] It isn't really about the seat Not the leather, not the view It's all the little moments That somehow lead back to you The coffee runs, the rainy days The sunsets on familiar roads The thousand tiny memories Nobody else but us would know [Final Chorus] She's my front seat princess Every road feels better when she's there Turning simple drives into affairs Of the heart and all its happy persistence My front seat princess Years from now I know what I will miss Not the destination nearly half as much as this Just another ride with the girl who made it precious My front seat princess [Outro] The funny thing about forever Is it rarely makes a sound One day you look beside you And realize She's been there all along.
