Lyrics Juliana Hatfield

Juliana Hatfield

Backseat

The gauge is on e

I'm gripping the wheel

The map is so hard to read

I can't see the road

I can only see

From my hand to my mouth

From right here to the ground

But I'm too far gone to go back

Where will it end?

My weary eyes

On the space

Right in front of me.

My mind imagining

Love and empathy

Or just some company saying

Don't let go

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

Don't you know I know?

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

Oh don't let go.

An angel takes the wheel

I climb into the backseat

And get under the blanket where sleep can bathe me in dreams

With a warm humming engine and spacemen three

Sleeping with Jesus

I just need to rest.

And I cry like a baby

Who fell out of the cradle

A feeling of release

How hard can it be

To speak clearly?

Don't let go

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

Don't you know I know?

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

Oh don't let go.

Pull over and get out

You're down, clinging to the earth

You want the world to stop

Discover unknown reserves

Get up, brush off the dirt

Get back in

And don't let go.

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

Don't you know I know?

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

Don't let go

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

Oh it's such a long road

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

Oh don't let go.
