50 in a 35

Story Behind The Song

Sitting in my dorm room, keeping my roommate awake. I thought to myself, what is something everyone can relate to? I need something everyone has done at least once. My roommate leaned his head over the edge of the bed and said, "speeding". Then it took off from there.

Lyrics

I get in my car and drive
The windows rolled down the sun?s in my eyes
I?m doing 50 in a 35 thinking about you

The radio?s off, the gas light?s on
Never wondering how far I?ve gone
Mile markers passing me like footsteps in a crowded hallway and I?m alone

Cause without you the world moves slower and I?m getting closer
To the point that I?ve been driving at it?s you
In my mirror and it?s getting clearer that I need you sitting next to me
My passenger on a one way street

I give you a call to pick you up
My heart starts racing when I hang up
Just the thought of you makes me feel something I?ve never felt before

A look from those eyes, think twice
A smile from you is something to remember
Angels sit at the foot of your bed and argue about who looks more like you
Cause without you the world moves slower and I?m getting closer
To the point that I?ve been driving at it?s you
In my mirror and it?s getting clearer that I need you sitting next to me
My passenger on a one way street


I?m trembling as you reach for my hand
There?s a silence that surrounds you
It surrounds me too
And I?ve never felt more alive than when I?m with you

Cause without you the world moves slower and I?m getting closer
To the point that I?ve been driving at it?s you
In my mirror and it?s getting clearer that I need you sitting next to me
My passenger on a one way street
