He got me strung out--
my feeling rung out--
I just can't seem to figure
why I just can't shake this guy
All up in my head
All up in my bed
Riding' shotgun in my life
but wont commit to man and wife
I know the choice is mine
and so I seek to find
the strength to cut this madness loose
I can't recall when I reduced my standards quite this low,
can't seem to let him go
So I continue day to day in the same destructive way
to let the nonsense fly
to just ignore the lie
I scratch my head and try to figure
how I let this trifling little boy get me so strung out!!

This reminds me a lot of my sister and her boyfriend of 3 years...not a pretty thing to watch

I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man.

Everyone would like to sit shotgun
but given that the seating is limited...

It's a tough call for sure.

bluesSerenade said it all - the seating is limited - at least for most people : )
