[Verse 1]
It's a vast change in the carpool lane, uh-huh
A subtle lane shift and I'm caught amidst high speeds
The soccer moms and me
Stuck in overdrive

[Chorus]
It's a long ride
But I'm right by your side

[Verse 2]
No one told me that there'd be a test, uh-huh
I never studied but I did my best, I think
The answers were in ink
The message was inscribed

[Chorus]
It's a long ride
But I'm right by your side
I tell you, I'm right by your side

[Bridge]
Oh this mediocrity
The sign says, "Got no vacancy"
I know that's just complacency
Calling me

[Verse 3]
It's a fine line marking the divide, uh-huh
I could exit, ride into the empty space
But then I see your face
And now I can't describe

[Chorus]
It's been a long time
And I'm right by your side
I'm right by your side
I'm right by your side
