Lyrics by Genius.com
[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
