Backdoor Deal

[Verse 1]
Her legs on the table
My morals on the floor
We’re halfway through the chaos
When keys hit the door
She freezes for a moment
Then whispers
“Babe
Don’t stay
That’s my husband in the hallway
We need another way”

[Chorus]
She said
“Quick
Try the backdoor”
Like it’s something people say
I was thinking relocation
She meant something else that day
Could’ve grabbed my shirt
My shoes
Got the hell out of that place
But a backdoor offer like that
Doesn’t come every day

[Verse 2]
Heart doing drum rolls
Sweat on my neck
He’s calling out her name now
I’m mentally a wreck
She’s pointing toward the kitchen
I’m lost inside her grin
Is this a trap
Is this a test
Or some kind of win-win

[Bridge]
I should’ve run down the driveway
Should’ve dove through a bush
Disappeared
Instead I followed directions
Thinking
“Man
This is wild but I’m here” (I’m here)
For the record
Your honor
It all made sense in my head
She shouted “use the backdoor”
So I did what she said
