A swirl of ambient pads, swooning vocals and sexually charged beats, Jake Frost's debut single Backdoor induces the thrill of sexual liberation and possibilities, while keeping the tongue-in-cheek lyrics playful and stimulating.
lyrics
Down on the avenue
We took on life as young boys do
With a mind to unloose the screw
We come alive We come alive
Open up a room do you wanna stay
We could take a few drinks before you say
Keep my tab open dance the night away
Let’s forget about each other’s body
There’s nowhere we can't go tonight
Let you hold my waist as I cross the line
Living on the edge just to stay alive
We’ll slip in from the back this time
Make out under those neon lights
Run Downtown 'fore we say goodbye
Living on the edge just to stay alive
We’ll slip in from the back this time
(I-I-I-I-I-I)
Make me come alive
(I-I-I-I-I-I)
Back this time
(I-I-I-I-I-I)
Make me come alive
(I-I-I-I-I-I)
There’s no use in being used
If you want it bad then light the fuse
Set the fire to your cheap perfume
We come alive We come alive
Open up a room do you wanna stay
We could take a few drinks before you say
Keep my tab open dance the night away
Let’s forget about each other’s body
There’s nowhere we can't go tonight
Let you hold my waist as I cross the line
Living on the edge just to stay alive
We’ll slip in from the back this time
Make out under those neon lights
Run Downtown 'fore we say goodbye
Living on the edge just to stay alive
We’ll slip in from the back this time
(I-I-I-I-I-I)
Make me come alive
(I-I-I-I-I-I)
Back this time
(I-I-I-I-I-I)
Make me come alive
(I-I-I-I-I-I)
Do you read me
Can you feel me
In the moment
We’ll know where we belong
(No I Just can’t wait to show you)
(No I Just can’t wait to)
Do you read me
Can you feel me
In the moment
We’ll know where we belong
There’s nowhere we can't go tonight
Let you hold my waist as I cross the line
Living on the edge just to stay alive
We’ll slip in from the back this time
Make out under those neon lights
Run Downtown 'fore we say goodbye
Living on the edge just to stay alive
We’ll slip in from the back this time
(I-I-I-I-I-I)
Make me come alive
(I-I-I-I-I-I)
Back this time
(I-I-I-I-I-I)
Make me come alive
(I-I-I-I-I-I)
