Ride Through Complex Love: Boys in the Backseat Story
Lyrics
I know there's some baggage that we brought along
I acknowledge there are issues or problems from the past that we both carry.
I know that your ex thinks that I did him wrong
Acknowledging that your previous partner believes I treated him unfairly.
I know that you crack and text him when we fight
Acknowledging that you sometimes communicate with your ex when we have arguments.
I know deep down that he's probably right
I am aware that deep down, he might be correct in his views.
And I know we can both be a liar
Acknowledging that both of us have the tendency to lie.
But when's that ever stopped us before
Reflecting on our shared history of not letting lies stop us.
We'll just keep on driving with the boys in the backseat
We will continue driving together with our friends in the backseat.
We'll just keep on driving with the boys in the backseat
Reiteration of the commitment to keep driving with friends in the backseat.
You know you're the reason that I went away
You are the reason I chose to leave.
I know I'm the reason that you finally stayed
Acknowledging that I played a role in your decision to stay.
They think that it's all just a big ol con
Others perceive our relationship as a big deception.
And you know that's the part of it that turns me on
Expressing that the deceptive part is enticing or attractive.
And I know we can both be a fire
Acknowledging the potential for both of us to be intense or fiery.
And we've got plenty to burn
We have a lot of emotions to express or burn through.
We'll just keep on driving with the boys in the backseat
Commitment to continue driving with friends in the backseat.
We'll just keep on driving with the boys in the backseat
Reiteration of the commitment to keep driving with friends in the backseat.
I don't wanna turn, I don't wanna turn around
Expressing a reluctance to turn or change direction.
I don't wanna turn, I don't wanna turn around
Repeating the reluctance to turn or change direction.
I don't wanna turn, I don't wanna turn around, around, around, around
-So put the pedal thru the metal, I don't wanna settle
Advocating for a fast and intense approach, not settling for less.
Tell me you can look me in the eyes, keep the car in the drive
Asking for assurance that you can maintain eye contact, keeping the car moving forward even if it involves deception.
Even if it's just a lie
Even if it's a lie, expressing a desire to hear that everything will be okay.
Tell me it'll be alright, alright, alright, alright
Seeking reassurance that everything will be alright.
Truth is that no matter what road we're on
Acknowledging that regardless of the path chosen, past experiences linger.
The ones you think that you leave are never really gone
The people we think we leave behind continue to influence us.
I know we're both getting tired
Recognizing mutual fatigue in our relationship.
Oh, when will we ever learn
Pondering when we will learn from our mistakes.
We'll just keep on driving with the boys in the backseat
Commitment to persist in the journey with friends in the backseat.
I don't wanna turn, I don't wanna turn around
Expressing reluctance to turn or change direction.
I don't wanna turn, I don't wanna turn around
Repeating the reluctance to turn or change direction.
I don't wanna turn, I don't wanna turn around, around, around, around
-So put the pedal thru the metal, I don't wanna settle
Advocating for a fast and intense approach, not settling for less.
Tell me you can look me in the eyes, keep the car in the drive
Asking for assurance that you can maintain eye contact, keeping the car moving forward even if it involves deception.
Even if it's just a lie, tell me it'll be alright
Even if it's a lie, expressing a desire to hear that everything will be okay.
So don't look back, we can never look back
Advising against looking back, emphasizing the impossibility of revisiting the past.
No don't look back, we can never look back
Reiterating the advice not to look back.
No don't look back, oh
Emphasizing the importance of not looking back.
We'll just keep on driving with the boys in the backseat
Commitment to persist in the journey with friends in the backseat.
We'll just keep on driving with the boys in the backseat
Reiteration of the commitment to keep driving with friends in the backseat.
We'll just keep on driving with the boys in the backseat
-We'll just keep on driving
Final commitment to continue driving forward.
