backseat is a song in which Zeph tries to cling to the happy memories of a person. The first part of the song is blissful and euphoric, but as the rose-coloured glasses begin to fall, the instrumental shifts to a somber tone. This song was originally released as a demo named back & forward on Ju...
[Verse 1]
In the backseat of your best friend's car
The destination is never far enough (Far enough)
They're laughing, singing out of tune
And I can't help but look at you in love
[Pre-Chorus]
It's tough, knowing that you'll never like me back
It, it, it, it sucks
How can I keep my distance
You're magnetic
[Chorus]
I'm fine, I'm lying to myself
I don't want anybody else
And I've never felt more alive
As I sit next to you for the drive
[Verse 2]
I don't care, I don't care, I don't care about it
I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
Don't be scared, don't be scared, I'm okay without it
I would go anywhere for you
[Outro]
Now to find you again, and again, and again, and again
But, but it hurts, and it hurts, and it hurts, it hurts not knowing when
I don't wanna leave, don't leave me alone
Alone with my thoughts and fears
I don't wanna leave, please say you won't go
When you need me I'll be here
I don't wanna leave, don't leave me alone
(I make time for you, I don't have to)
Alone with my thoughts and fears
(Cancel plans while you make your own)
I don't wanna leave
(Sit and wait for you to call me)
Please say you won't go
(While you forget you have a phone)
(I wish I was special)
When you need me I'll be here
(Wish I had your full attention)
Now to find you again, and again, and again, and again
(I think I wished on a mirage)
But, but it hurts, and it hurts, and it hurts, it hurts not knowing when
(I make time for you)
(I like you but not the way you like everyone else)
