[Verse]:

It’s moments like this that keep me on the edge of my seat

I can almost feel all the eggshells dig into my feet

You have been feeding me toxins since I was a kid

I still live in your house, forced not to recall what you did

Mostly I’m fine just avoiding whatever black hole

But when I sit in your car, forced to leave you in control

You drive, and the silence is solely what needs to be said

And then hypotheticals find their way into my head

[Pre-Chorus]:

Thinking of all the worst things that could happen

I make you mad and you veer off and crash it

I make the wrong face and you think I’m crazy

I tell you my day and you think I’m lazy

Talk about money and you say you want it

Tell you I’m sad and you say you’re beyond it

I mention school, or my friends, or my work, or the end

And you tell me you’re happy with quiet

[Chorus]:

I remember everything

I remember it all, again

But that was all in my head, all that you didn’t declare

The past and the present can overlap when I get scared

I remember who you were

But I, don’t know who you are, this time

I wish you would say something, give me something to secure it

Something to test out the waters with for reassurance

But for now

[Outro]:

The water’s fine in the carpool

Come take a swim

The water’s fine in the carpool
