Right Seat, Left Hand on Mine

Lyrics

Empty street at ten, the city's gone to sleep
You hand me the keys, say let me watch you leap
I slide into the driver's seat, heart in my throat
You adjust the mirror, smile, say we won't float
Left foot hovers, right foot finds the pedal
Little shaky, little slow, but I'm getting settled
Your hand on the dash, the other on my knee
Telling me it's alright, just breathe with me

Eyes up, babe, I've got you
Every turn I take, you're right there too

Right seat, left hand on mine
Learning how to drive, learning how to shine
You say go slow, I say don't let go
Every little mile is a love I know
Right seat, left hand on mine
Streetlights blurring like a heartbeat line
You never rush me, never raise your voice
Learning how to drive, I made the right choice

Stall at the light and I start to laugh
You kiss my cheek, say that's the best half
Roll down the window, let the night air in
Start again smooth, take it on the chin
Neon signs sliding across the glass
Every corner turned is a slow-motion pass
I never thought I'd trust somebody this much
With my nerves, my hands, my every touch

Eyes up, babe, I've got you
Every turn I take, you're right there too

Right seat, left hand on mine
Learning how to drive, learning how to shine
You say go slow, I say don't let go
Every little mile is a love I know
Right seat, left hand on mine
Streetlights blurring like a heartbeat line
You never rush me, never raise your voice
Learning how to drive, I made the right choice

Park it by the water, kill the engine
Silence says more than we were saying
Your fingers lace through mine, no words
Just the river and the late night birds

Right seat, left hand on mine
Learning how to drive, learning how to shine
You say go slow, I say don't let go
Every little mile is a love I know
Right seat, left hand on mine
Streetlights blurring like a heartbeat line
You never rush me, never raise your voice
Learning how to drive, I made the right choice

Left hand on mine
Every mile, every line
