Kiran - Memories from the Backseat Lyrics

His quiet stares, too much to bear
He just can't find the words
The stop and start, our broken hearts
The treading is getting worse
The oil drips with every trip
There's nothing left to prove
What's in his mind? Too hard to find
The wonder that I once knew
And I try, I try
To turn back the time
So don't take the images from him
Memories from the backseat
Can't be taken from me
He's often forgotten but I won't let it happen, no
Memories from the backseat
Can't be taken from me
But I'm still losing sleep over how he used to be
I'm there again, when I was 10
His laughter rocked the room
His voice was clean, cut through the breeze
Naive that we assumed
He'd have control for evermore
And even though he tried to
His tank's on E, and he's 83
He can't ignore the truth
But he'll try, he'll try
To turn back the time
So don't take the images from him
Memories from the backseat
Can't be taken from me
He's often forgotten but I won't let it happen
Memories from the backseat
Can't be taken from me
But I'm still losing sleep over how he used to be
