Backseat Valentine
D
Dee Stalin
male vocals
romantic
rock
gang shouts
Crunchy garage rock with bright
overdriven guitars and a swaggering mid-tempo groove. Male vocals
slightly raspy
sitting upfront with tight double-tracked hooks on the chorus. Verses keep it lean with palm-muted riff
then chorus slams in with open chords
and a simple
driving bass. Brief tambourine and shout-along hits in the bridge to set up a final big chorus.

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You showed up late in your torn-up jacket
Cherry lip gloss on a paper cup
Laughing at nothing
Calling it magic
Said
"If you're coming
Then you better jump in"
[Chorus]
You’re my backseat valentine
Hair on fire
Heart off time
Kissing at the red lights
Daring ’em to change
You’re my front-row wrecking ball
Leather boots in every brawl
If love is trouble
I don’t wanna be saved
My rock and roll romantic
Yeah
You're my beautiful bad habit (oh yeah)
[Verse 2]
You steal my fries
Then you steal my lighter
Draw your dreams on the car roof fog
Talk about running
Always higher
Faster
But every road keeps leading back to us
[Chorus]
You’re my backseat valentine
Hair on fire
Heart off time
Kissing at the red lights
Daring ’em to change
You’re my front-row wrecking ball
Leather boots in every brawl
If love is trouble
I don’t wanna be saved
My rock and roll romantic
Yeah
You're my beautiful bad habit
[Bridge]
You say
"One more night"
You say that every night
I say
"Turn it up"
We burn another mile (hey!)
[Chorus]
You’re my backseat valentine
Hair on fire
Heart off time
Kissing at the red lights
Daring ’em to change
You’re my front-row wrecking ball
Leather boots in every brawl
If love is trouble
I don’t wanna be saved
My rock and roll romantic
Yeah
You're my beautiful bad habit
My rock and roll romantic
I’ll never kick this habit
You showed up late in your torn-up jacket
Cherry lip gloss on a paper cup
Laughing at nothing
Calling it magic
Said
"If you're coming
Then you better jump in"
[Chorus]
You’re my backseat valentine
Hair on fire
Heart off time
Kissing at the red lights
Daring ’em to change
You’re my front-row wrecking ball
Leather boots in every brawl
If love is trouble
I don’t wanna be saved
My rock and roll romantic
Yeah
You're my beautiful bad habit (oh yeah)
[Verse 2]
You steal my fries
Then you steal my lighter
Draw your dreams on the car roof fog
Talk about running
Always higher
Faster
But every road keeps leading back to us
[Chorus]
You’re my backseat valentine
Hair on fire
Heart off time
Kissing at the red lights
Daring ’em to change
You’re my front-row wrecking ball
Leather boots in every brawl
If love is trouble
I don’t wanna be saved
My rock and roll romantic
Yeah
You're my beautiful bad habit
[Bridge]
You say
"One more night"
You say that every night
I say
"Turn it up"
We burn another mile (hey!)
[Chorus]
You’re my backseat valentine
Hair on fire
Heart off time
Kissing at the red lights
Daring ’em to change
You’re my front-row wrecking ball
Leather boots in every brawl
If love is trouble
I don’t wanna be saved
My rock and roll romantic
Yeah
You're my beautiful bad habit
My rock and roll romantic
I’ll never kick this habit
