ghosts in the backyard Songtext
von Abi Carter

Climbing up the branches
Used to watch the world from above
Things are so romantic
When you′ve never been in love

Driving down Alberta
She looks lonelier now
That you're in Oklahoma
And you left a haunted house

The ghosts in the backyard are throwing a tantrum
The sheets on the clothesline are spinning and dancing
Treehouses feel like they′re mansions
And this old home's still holding me ransom

Running down the mountain
Your driveway seems so long
Wishes in the fountain
The night we buried your dog


And it's all too much
From the leaves to the mud
When it′s said and done
We grew up and we left all

These ghosts in the backyard throwing a tantrum
The sheets on the clothesline are spinning and dancing
Treehouses feel like they′re mansions
And this old home's still holding me ransom

The ghosts in the backyard are throwing a fit
Cause the kids who used to play there are no longer kids
Once in a while, you live on as a phantom
This old home′s still holding me ransom

This isn't how I imagined
Burn down this city down to the ashes
But oh, it′s still cold

I don't know what I remember
And I searched for you in the embers
Oh, we used to glow

The ghosts in the backyard are kicking and thrashing
I wanna break in, take the windows and smash them
Someone moved in, but to me it′s abandoned
This old home's still holding us ransom
