Boy In The Backseat Lyrics - Alice Peacock

Sometimes when I'm driving in my car 

I check the rear view mirror and there you are 

With a smile, it seems like only yesterday 

And while I never want your memory to fade 

I'm happy were I am with the choices I've made 

But sometimes I can feel you like you're next to me 

And the boy in the backseat had eyes of green 

Like fields of forever 

Do you know what I mean 

I don't know if at seventeen 

You can ever see beyond the dream 

Or the beat of your heart 

Flush in your face, it had to be true 

Like the love with the boy in the backseat I knew 

After graduation we went our separate ways 

I flew off to college, you just drove away 

With plans of traveling this great big world of ours 

And throughout the years I'd see your eyes 

On strangers faces, on other guys 

From small cafes to dark Midwestern bars 

But the boy in the backseat had miles to go 

From the isle of Antigua to the Vancouver coast 

Every now and then a postcard home 

Friends say you're married, all I know 

Is the beat of my heart 

Flush in my face 

It had to be true 

Like the love with the boy in the backseat I knew 

Everyone you ever love is a part of you 

And the boy in the backseat with eyes of green 

Like fields of forever do you know what I mean 

In the rose colored world of seventeen 

Real life can never touch that dream 

And the boy in the backseat won't ever change 

Time passes by, the radio plays 

On that lost and misty lover's lane 

The sound of the night, the sound of the rain 

And the beat of your heart 

Flush in your face, it had to be true 

Like the love with the boy in the backseat I knew
