Lyrics:

[English]

Lazy lover, find a place for me again

You felt it once before

I know you did

I could see it

Whiskey princess, drink me under, pull me in

You had me at come over boy

I need a friend

I understand

Backseat serenade, dizzy hurricane

Oh god, I'm sick of sleeping alone

You're salty like a summer day

Kiss the sweat away to your radio (Radio, radio)

Backseat serenade, little hand grenade

Oh god, I'm sick of sleeping alone

You're salty like a summer day

Kiss the pain away to your radio (Radio, radio)

...

You take me over, I throw you up against the wall

We've seen it all before

But this one's different

It's deliberate

You send me reeling

Calling out to you for more

The value of this moment lives in metaphor

Yeah, through it all

Backseat serenade, dizzy huricane

Oh god, I'm sick of sleeping alone

You're salty like a summer day

Kiss the sweat away to your radio (Radio, radio)

Backseat serenade, little hand grenade

Oh god, I'm sick of sleeping alone

You're salty like a summer day

Kiss the pain away to your radio (Radio, radio)

...

Backseat serenade, dizzy huricane

Oh god, I'm sick of sleeping alone

You're salty like a summer day

Kiss the sweat away to your radio (Radio, radio)

Backseat serenade, little hand grenade

Oh aren't you sick of sleeping alone?

(Aren't you sick of sleeping alone?)

You're salty like a summer day

Kiss the pain away to your radio (Radio, radio)

...

(Oh god, I'm sick of sleeping alone)

...
