Sara Kays - Backseat Rider [Official Lyric Video]

Lyrics:
you lived down the block
we met for the first time
at the bus stop
we sat side by side
3rd seat from the back
we talked the whole ride

6 years later you got your first car
& you told me to wait outside
then you pulled up & somebody else
was sitting in the passenger side

so i sat in the backseat
it didn’t bother me
but after 5 weeks of sitting in silence behind her while you talked of movies i’ve never seen
l 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 side

so i sat in the backseat
it didn’t bother me
but after 5 weeks of sitting in silence behind her while you talked of movies i’ve never seen
l realized that’s how we used to be
but now my best friend is the driver
and i’m the backseat rider

you gave me back the clothes that you used to borrow
you dropped me off at home said you’ll see me tomorrow

and i’ll sit in the backseat
it didn’t bother me
but after 5 weeks of sitting in silence behind her while you talked of movies i’ve never seen
l realized that’s how we used to be
but now my best friend is the driver
and i’m the backseat rider

Therapy is expensive but listening to Sara Kay is free and even better.

[pictureofimpracticalidealist]

Honestly I can’t believe this queen isn’t a Grammy winner yet come on! Ily Sara you’re literally so talented

[Pagedgecko]

It's so crazy how spot on Sara gets with this emotions/experiences in her songs, it's all stuff we've all felt, such talent :)

[huhuhyuh]

Listen guys, we are the ogs. Before she becomes famous. And its going to be incredible her talent is absolutely amazing!!

[sushil]

From - "I got my driver's license last week" to "So I sat in the backseat, it didn't bother me". 🖤

[jia]

Imagine her "best friend's" reaction to this.

[tanvichauhan]

Everybody just hang on, one day we all are gonna say we were here from the very beginning ❤️
We will be the OG's❤️😎

[_..jolene.._]

This queen is underrated. She’s an amazing singer, beautiful, has amazing music, and amazing lyrics.

[Brigidsmyth]

I don’t have to finish the song without knowing that it’s amazing! The song will be on repeat all day 😌

[anastasija]

The one person who dissliked is the girl from passinger seat.

[lilytieu]

Please 🥺 the lyrics are so carefully crafted and it all sounds so amazing 😭😭

[aldeaad]

The saddest part of friendship is falling in love with the other 🙂

[dillipkumarparida]

When Sara is the only person, to whose songs u can relate to in a God level ... I can feel you ppl

[ariw]

God this reminded me of my...used to be best friend I don't know what we are now, one day they just stopped talking to me. I mean, this is the person I thought was gonna be at my wedding with me and now they don't respond. We planned summer drives to vent about our parents once I got my first car and that's never gonna happen now because they won't talk to me and I don't even know why. It's been a few months so it doesn't hurt as much but sometimes and especially with this song it just hits me. All these memories we made and all these plans for more memories...they're never gonna happen. And God I miss them.

[rkvsjzo]

You're the most relatable artist, and I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing 😅

[lilithreusch]

This is such a ridiculously specific song but it's somehow so relatable. Like not just the feelings but I spent last summer in the backseat while my closest friend and *her* best friend sat in front.

[andreahernandes]

Sara kays thank you so much for making this kind of music. I feel like music is the only thing that understands me! Love your voice please never stop and keep doing what your doing.

[aleefajahan]

the way she showcases her emotions through a song is really amazing

[aleefajahan]

guys i don’t know how else to say this but she’s amazing. she has NO bad songs, not a single one. i love her so much.

[laaryyy]

I have problems with expressing my thoughts and emotions even when talking to people that are closest to me... while you write songs about those, Sara... it truly amazes me
