Backseat Daydream
Ethan Ross
pop
female vocals
Sparkling midtempo pop with female vocals; clean palm-muted guitars over tight drums and warm bass in verses
lifting into a glossy
hooky chorus with stacked harmonies and bright synth top lines; subtle vocal chops and a filtered bridge that drops to kick-and-vocal before a final
explosive chorus repeat

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You’re driving
I’m talking too fast
Feet on the dash
We’re dodging the past
You laugh
Say I always rewind
Every tiny moment like a movie in my mind
[Chorus]
I get lost in a backseat daydream
Windows down
You beside me
Every small thing feels like lightning
Sparks in a soda stream
If this is all that we ever get
Half-warm fries and a sunburned neck
I could live here
Stuck on repeat
In my backseat daydream
[Verse 2]
Your jacket’s too big on my frame
You shrug
Say “keep it
” I don’t complain
You hum that song out of key
I swear that’s the only place I wanna be
[Chorus]
I get lost in a backseat daydream
Windows down
You beside me
Every small thing feels like lightning
Sparks in a soda stream
If this is all that we ever get
Half-warm fries and a sunburned neck
I could live here
Stuck on repeat
In my backseat daydream
[Bridge]
Will we fade like the parking lot paint?
Or stay bright like the sign over Main? (oh)
If it all goes
Promise me one thing
You’ll remember how we sang
[Chorus]
I get lost in a backseat daydream
Windows down
You beside me
Every small thing feels like lightning
Sparks in a soda stream
If this is all that we ever get
Half-warm fries and a sunburned neck
I could live here
Stuck on repeat
In my backseat daydream
You’re driving
I’m talking too fast
Feet on the dash
We’re dodging the past
You laugh
Say I always rewind
Every tiny moment like a movie in my mind
[Chorus]
I get lost in a backseat daydream
Windows down
You beside me
Every small thing feels like lightning
Sparks in a soda stream
If this is all that we ever get
Half-warm fries and a sunburned neck
I could live here
Stuck on repeat
In my backseat daydream
[Verse 2]
Your jacket’s too big on my frame
You shrug
Say “keep it
” I don’t complain
You hum that song out of key
I swear that’s the only place I wanna be
[Chorus]
I get lost in a backseat daydream
Windows down
You beside me
Every small thing feels like lightning
Sparks in a soda stream
If this is all that we ever get
Half-warm fries and a sunburned neck
I could live here
Stuck on repeat
In my backseat daydream
[Bridge]
Will we fade like the parking lot paint?
Or stay bright like the sign over Main? (oh)
If it all goes
Promise me one thing
You’ll remember how we sang
[Chorus]
I get lost in a backseat daydream
Windows down
You beside me
Every small thing feels like lightning
Sparks in a soda stream
If this is all that we ever get
Half-warm fries and a sunburned neck
I could live here
Stuck on repeat
In my backseat daydream
