Drivers Seat
Here I was behind the wheel still wondering if this was legal
I adjusted my seat, nice and high, and I felt very regal
I reminded myself that this was like every time before
But something didn’t feel right when no one opened the passenger door
As I sat alone and hit the gas I still didn’t know how to feel
It’s true what they and everyone told me, things just got real
This is a time of life people tell you you’ll never forget
The time where you go out and make memories you won't regret
Your first car, your license, and a taste of freedom
Before reality strikes and hits your kingdom
There will be bumps in the road before your journey is done
And I myself have experienced not just one
Lost friendships, regrets, and accidents too
Those are times that you wish you were two
Growing up isn’t easy and no one said it would be
But here’s one thing that is always important to me
The outside of you will go through some changes
That's the part of life that is inevitable
But the one thing you must maintain is
The beauty that comes from within will always be the most memorable
