Vanessa Peters - Copilot Lyrics
You tried to hold my gazeBut I just looked awayWatched a hail mary pass on the screenIt's the first day of the new yearIt's the perfect day to finally say what I meanAnd man that quarterback’s off to a great startHe’s a hero now, he’s won the nation’s heartAnd I wish I had a throwing arm, I wish I had better aimI wish I could convince you to stay in the gameBut hail mary, mother of godI’m hitting the road, could you come along?I've been writing love letters out on the blacktopAnd later on I can barely read what I wroteAnd I could use a copilotMaybe you could help me take notesSo i turned off my brain, I turned off my heartI turned off the porch light and I turned off the starsI packed a suitcase of regret to take with meI closed the front door, threw it into the backseatI keep my eye on them in the rearviewThey’re always there to see me throughBut hail mary, mother of godI’m hitting the road, could you come along?I've been writing love letters out on the blacktopAnd later on I can barely read what I wroteAnd I could use a copilotMaybe you could help me take noteI turn off my car back in the driveI’m kind of lucky I made it home aliveNot sure how much of this I’ve got leftBut I know that I can’t do it by myself
