Backbone

FUNK 95 BPM 2:19 Official Lyric Video

Two friends sitting in a parked car at 2am, one breaking down after a failed audition, the other saying nothing—just turning up the music and driving with no destination. Sometimes loyalty isn't about fixing someone; it's about refusing to let them sit alone in the dark.

Lyrics

Verse 1 You called me at the bottom, voice cracking through the phone I didn't ask the questions, just said "Baby, you're not alone" I know that look you're wearing, seen it written on your face So I grabbed my keys and headed, didn't need you to explain Chorus I'm your backbone when you're bending Your backbone when you're breaking I'm the one who won't go missing When the world keeps taking, taking I'm your backbone, yeah, your backbone I'll be standing when you're falling Your backbone Verse 2 We don't need the talking, just the radio up loud Windows down, no looking back at what you're leaving now I've seen you at your worst and I ain't going nowhere That's the kind of love that doesn't need the words to share Chorus I'm your backbone when you're bending Your backbone when you're breaking I'm the one who won't go missing When the world keeps taking, taking I'm your backbone, yeah, your backbone I'll be standing when you're falling Your backbone Bridge Friends don't leave when the night gets heavy We ride it out together, we ain't never Gonna let each other fall alone I swear it on my bones Outro I'm your backbone (backbone) Your backbone (backbone) I'm your backbone
