The Girl in the Backseat
Rediscovering Beauty: Embracing Your Inner Child in 'The Girl in the Backseat'
Lyrics
Isn’t it funny how you get a little older and
Reflecting on the changes that come with age and experience.
Suddenly you don’t know who the girl in the backseat was cuz she seemed so happy
Expressing confusion about the identity of someone from the past who appeared happy.
What happened to you? Thinking you don’t have
Questioning what happened to the person, suggesting a change in perspective.
Enough when a while ago all you had was Crayola and you thought that was pretty damn good
Reminiscing about a time when simple things, like Crayola, were appreciated.
You’re so beautiful
Complimenting the person, emphasizing their beauty.
You have it all, you have it all
Acknowledging the person's perceived completeness or success.
You’re so beautiful to me
Reiterating the beauty of the person.
Don’t let the others fool you into thinking they’ve got the
Warning against being misled by others who claim to have it all.
World in their handbag all because they have a man, you’re better off without one
Encouraging independence and suggesting a woman doesn't need a man to be successful.
Look in the mirror and you would only see a stranger if you
Encouraging self-reflection and seeing oneself positively.
Saw yourself the way that I see you and loved the child in your eyes
Expressing a positive view of the person's inner child.
You’re so beautiful
Repeating the admiration for the person's beauty.
You have it all, you have it all
Reiterating the perception that the person has everything.
You’re so beautiful to me
Affirming the continued beauty of the person.
You’re so beautiful
Repeating the sentiment about the person's beauty.
You had it then, you’ve always been
Acknowledging the person's past completeness and beauty.
Oh so beautiful to me
Emphasizing that the person is still beautiful.
When you ran through the trees picking flowers, collecting leaves
Recalling carefree moments of the past.
None of this was on your mind; I wish that I could press rewind
Expressing a desire to go back in time and undo changes.
Maybe you could see that
Wishing for the person to recognize their beauty.
You’re so beautiful
Repeating the admiration for the person's beauty.
You had it all, yeah you had it all
Reiterating that the person had everything in the past.
You’re still beautiful can’t you see
Asserting that the person is still beautiful.
You’re so beautiful
Repeating the compliment on the person's beauty.
You have it all, you still have it all
Affirming that the person still possesses everything.
You’re so beautiful to me
Reiterating the beauty of the person.
