The Backseat Lyrics
Swing
Your arms into a ghost
That made us dead-alive
And I’d turn my heels and run
But they already ran away
“I know you saw a smile
But you’ve been on the bench
By now the cover’s blown
And everyone is far away...”
Somewhere on the line
I could have had the time
To be happier with you
What else could I do?
In the backseat
With no sun
I know we had awhile
And that was all I had
I drove all over town
But now the ghost wont go away
You sink into the sun
You left me by my plans
And you tell everyone,
“Now that he is far away...”
Dear I’m all alone
With my mind and what we’ve done
I was happier with you
What else could I do?
In the backseat
With no sun
Now my love is spent
You were my best friend
It started in the car
And ended with my heart
Your arms into a ghost
That made us dead-alive
And I’d turn my heels and run
But they already ran away
But you’ve been on the bench
By now the cover’s blown
And everyone is far away...”
I could have had the time
To be happier with you
What else could I do?
With no sun
And that was all I had
I drove all over town
But now the ghost wont go away
You left me by my plans
And you tell everyone,
“Now that he is far away...”
With my mind and what we’ve done
I was happier with you
What else could I do?
With no sun
You were my best friend
It started in the car
And ended with my heart

one of my favorite songs off their cd... great stuff!
This song feels like it's about 3 different relationships at once. I like listening to it and reflecting on every romantic endeavor I've ever had
