Backyard Songtext
von Such Gold

Oh, what a sight to be seen
I left my wits back up in a tree
Where I used to climb before I was a teen
Thanks to an old woman′s cat and a young man's dreams

And we′re all waiting for them to fall into our hands
Will we learn to climb, or keep standing at the base
Shouting our demands?

And no one's listening, yet we scream
"Let us have our old lives back"
There's something I′ve been missing
And I would love to ask

Do you ever feel ashamed enough to say
That this life we live is flying us first-class to an early grave?
And did you ever find your own reality
Above your head swaying in the breeze?


Our voices shake
The trunk was standing flat up but it never breaks
Gravity is holding us down and it′s raising the stakes
For me

And we're waiting for our life to fall back into our hands
Will we learn to climb, or keep standing at the base
Singing?
Do you ever feel ashamed enough to say
That this life we live is flying us first-class to an early grave?
And when I find my own reality
Right where I want it to be

We climbed so far
We got what we came for
And in the end, this backyard isn′t mine anymore

This backyard isn't mine
This backyard isn′t mine
This isn't my backyard
Anymore, anymore
