Backseat Rider

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 Six years later you bought your first car And you told me to wait outside Then you pulled and somebody else Was sitting in the passenger's side 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 Maybe it's my fault Spent summer break away and forgot to call Or maybe you forgot Around this time last summer, we sat in the parking lot 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's side 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 I gave you back the clothes that you used to borrow You dropped me off at home, said you'll see me tomorrow And I 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 I gave you back the clothes that you used to borrow You dropped me off at home, said you'll see me tomorrow
