The basic premise of “It’s Safe to Say You Dig the Backseat” is this girl is throwing herself at him. He thinks she’s a whore for it, and he also thinks she’s better than this, but at the same time he’s not opposed to be using her for his own sexual gain.
[Verse 1: Jonny Craig, Jon Mess]
I threw out the word the second we met
Cordial lies, I tried, I was cashing a check
The ink was smeared, the lines were drawn and scribbled unclear
A cancellation, it’s time to learn to fly
I threw up a word the second we met
Couldn't have lied, I tried, I was cashing a check
The ink was smeared, the lines were drawn and scribbled unclear
A cancellation, it’s time to learn to fly
[Verse 2: Jon Mess, Jonny Craig, Both]
Now that I've decided that you can’t be
Now that I've decided that you can’t be trusted
Now that I've decided that you can’t be
Now that I've decided that you can’t be trusted
Now that I've decided that you can’t be
Now that I've decided that you can’t be
And one by one (Wasn't that fun?)
This party dies (Fade away)
Late night phone calls that end in surprise
I can't believe you would give up your dignity
(Fade away)
Just to take a ride with me
And how does it feel to be used?
Climb in the back seat like luggage
[Refrain: Jon Mess]
Whores don't trip, they bleed on the tapestry
Whores don't trip, they bleed at the bar
Whores don't trip, they bleed on the tapestry
Whores don't trip, they bleed at the bar
[Break: Jonny Craig]
It’s your persistence that makes me sick
It’s not the sight of you
And now I am so faint, caught up in us this way
I know that you can be more than this
This wasn't what I wanted, you said I sewed that dream alive
Climb farther into hate, is it this back seat making you itch?
Morals become something from a dream
This isn't the way to blow off steam
It’s all in your head
Give up, this is making me sick
My patience is wearing thin
I will be leaving you now
Stay away for long
[Verse 3: Jon Mess, Jonny Craig]
Drag his body down to the mill
Stationed wit, I believe will go there
Cut the ice with counterfeit bills
Stationed wit, I believe will go there
I'll take my share
Stationed wit, I believe will go there
Like lightning bolts that strike down in pairs
[Bridge: Jon Mess, Jonny Craig]
This is all justified, this is all justified
Stationed wit, I believe will go there
Step aside and watch the lie
Stationed wit, I believe will go there
This is all justified, this is all justified
Stationed wit, I believe will go there
Won't heal in time
Stationed wit, I believe will go there
This is all justified now
[Outro: Jonny Craig]
And now we’re all afraid to see why we can’t give it up
But now your shirt comes off
I need something more tonight than your word
