“I was in the backseat of a car with my friends who were talking shit. It was this metaphor for everyone growing up and trying to prove themselves and I was so frustrated with that.

[Verse 1]
In the backseat
I don't wanna talk I'm fine
In a way I don't wanna be here
I just wanna ride
And my two friends are laughing about the people that we know
In the backseat
My head is heavy out the window
[Pre-Chorus]
And they say
"Get on with it and list all the things I know"
But I don't wanna miss the lights and the radio
[Chorus]
Yeah the lights
I'm young and I'm falling in love
With the night

And I look nice
When I'm free and lonely
In the backseat
[Verse 2]
At the party
The song takes me back
To last December
Or something like that
And I remember how we felt so old
We fell in love and no one had to know
[Pre-Chorus]
And they say
"Get on with it and list off what I can do"
But I don't wanna miss the lights and you
[Chorus]
Yeah the lights
I'm young and I'm falling in love
With the night
I'm not tired
Let's just drive
And I look nice
When I'm free and lonely
In the backseat
(In the backseat)
(I don't wanna miss the lights and you)
[Chorus]
Yeah the lights
I'm young and falling in love
With the night
I'm not tired
Let's just drive
And I look nice
When I'm free and lonely
In the backseat
