Backseat Rider lyrics

[Verse 1]

You lived down the block

We met for the first time

At the bus stop

We sat side-by-side

Third seat from the back

We talked the whole ride

[Pre-Chorus]

Six years later, you bought your first car

And you told me to wait outside

Then you pulled up and somebody else was sitting in the passenger side

[Chorus]

So I sat in the backseat, it didn't bother me

But after five weeks of sitting in silence behind her

While you talked of moviеs I've never seen

I rеalized that's how we used to be

But now my best friend is the driver

And I'm the backseat rider

[Verse 2]

Maybe it's my fault

Spent summer break away

And forgot to call

But maybe you forgot

Around this time last summer

We sat in the parking lot

[Pre-Chorus]

And you told me when you got your first car

That you and I would go for a drive

But now we're here and somebody else is sitting in the passenger side

[Chorus]

So I sat in the backseat, it didn't bother me

But after five weeks of sitting in silence behind her

While you talked of movies I've never seen

I realized that's how we used to be

But now my best friend is the driver

And I'm the backseat rider

[Bridge]

I'll give you back the clothes that you used to borrow

You dropped me off at home, said you'll see me tomorrow

[Chorus]

And I'll sit in the backseat, it didn't bother me

But after five weeks of sitting in silence behind her

While you talked of movies I've never seen

I realized that's how we used to be

But now my best friend is the driver

And I'm the backseat rider

[Outro]

I'll give you back the clothes that you used to borrow

You dropped me off at home, said you'll see me tomorrow
