Dempsey Bolton - Backup

You only mess with me to keep me on the side
For friday nights
When your plans are looking empty
You invite me just to help you pass the time
To keep your mind
From stumbling onto something heavy

I'm the backup, know it's true
I'm the backup, that's all i am to you
And any time of night i'm only one ring away from coming through

Sitting in my car out on a midnight summer drive
When i ask you what we are you tell me please don't ruin the vibe
So i take you home the long way, tryna hit all of the reds
Cause i know that when i drop you off i might not see you again

I keep checking my phone
Read's a differеnt type of glow
You say you just need alone time
But i know you ain't alonе right?
If we both are being honest
No excuses nothing polished
No rehearsal, just the thoughts then
Maybe you could tell me i'm the back up
Then i'd know for sure
I'm the backup
Tell me now before
Cause any time of night it's only one ring before i'm at your door

Sitting in my car out on a midnight summer drive
When i ask you what we are you tell me please don't ruin the vibe
So i take you home the long way, tryna hit all of the reds
Cause i know that when i drop you off i might not see you again
I know that i'm the backup
