[Verse 1] I found a lemon in the backseat Rolling loose by the cracked seat seam Tucked in a napkin, gone soft at the edge Like a summer dare I never did keep You laughed like you knew what it meant Said, “Leave it there, let it be” But I kept that yellow in my palm Like a tiny sun with a paper skin [Pre-Chorus] And every turn in the road Made it smell like rain Every little speed bump Pulled you back again [Chorus] Backseat lemon, backseat lemon Still got juice in it Backseat lemon, backseat lemon I keep rolling with it One small thing Brings you back to me Backseat lemon Backseat lemon [Verse 2] Now the car’s got dust on the dash And your name in the glovebox crease But I still reach for that sour glow When the day goes thin on me There’s a bruise on the peel by now And the seed has gone to sleep Still I hold that little reminder Of how close you were to me [Pre-Chorus] And every turn in the road Makes a hush come down Every little speed bump Sets your shadow out [Chorus] Backseat lemon, backseat lemon Still got juice in it Backseat lemon, backseat lemon I keep rolling with it One small thing Brings you back to me Backseat lemon Backseat lemon [Bridge] If I bite too hard, it burns If I wait, it fades Either way, it’s yours and mine In the dust and the shade [Final Chorus] Backseat lemon, backseat lemon Still got juice in it Backseat lemon, backseat lemon I keep rolling with it One small thing Brings you back to me Backseat lemon Backseat lemon
