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 a 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, trying to 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 different type of glow You say you just need alone time But I know you ain't alone 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, trying to 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
