Backseat Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Weed smoke, windows up, sittin' in the parking lot (Parking lot)
You bring your friend along but we all know she talks a lot
Neighbors at the balcony, I'm prayin' they don't call the cops
You gettin' paranoid, I whip around the block

[Pre-Chorus]
You want me to air it out
You tell me it's gettin' hot
You smoke about half a J, I cannot retrace my thoughts
All these run on sentences, tell me what the difference is
Which one do you prefer?
Sativa or Indica?

[Chorus]
Backseat
I'm the one you need to be around
'Cause I won't bring you down
No, I won't bring you down
No, I won't ever bring you down
You don't gotta ask me
Already know what I will provide
No, I won't steer you wrong
No, I won't steer you wrong
No, I won't givе you the runaround
[Post-Chorus]
Say yes or no
Only if you wanna
'Bout that time
Timе for me to roll up
Yeah, hm-mm

[Verse 2]
Whippin' around three deep, we're sittin' in my Jeep
Oh, it's been a stressful week, I could use the company
Searchin' for some inner peace, you still feel incomplete
You start to question shit like what's the point in anything

[Pre-Chorus]
You want me to air it out
You tell me it's gettin' hot
We smoke half a J, I cannot retrace my thoughts
All these run on sentences, what the difference is?
Which one do you prefer?
Sativa or Indica?

[Chorus]
Backseat
I'm the one you need to be around
'Cause I won't bring you down
No, I won't bring you down
No, I won't ever bring you down
You don't gotta ask me
Already know what I will provide
No, I won't steer you wrong
No, I won't steer you wrong
No, I won't give you the runaround
[Post-Chorus]
Say yes or no
Only if you wanna
'Bout that time
Time for me to roll up

[Outro]
Say yes or no
Only if you wanna
'Bout that time
Time for me to roll up, yeah
Yeah, hm-mm

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
