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
