Backyard Universe
About this track
free to download!! (Verse 1) We built a rocket out of milk crates and dreams, Painted stars on the fence where the grass meets the seams. The world felt endless past that wooden line, Our galaxy fit in a night that was mine. (Pre-Chorus) We didn’t need no satellites, Just porch light planets in the night— Every whisper, every laugh, Felt like a comet burning fast. (Chorus) In our backyard universe, We owned the stars, for what it’s worth. Old lawn chairs became our thrones, We were gods of the great unknown. In our backyard universe, Everything felt unrehearsed. You were the sun, and I was cursed, Orbiting you forever. (Verse 2) Your dad’s old speakers played Bowie too loud, We danced in pajamas, invisible crowd. Talked about leaving this town someday, But part of me still hopes we’ll stay. (Pre-Chorus) Constellations in your eyes, Mapped the roads I’d never find— Every moment, every spark, Was our whole world in the dark. (Chorus) In our backyard universe, We owned the stars, for what it’s worth. Old lawn chairs became our thrones, We were gods of the great unknown. In our backyard universe, Everything felt unrehearsed. You were the sun, and I was cursed, Orbiting you forever. (Bridge) Now the grass grew tall, the lights are gone, But I still hear our favorite song. If I close my eyes, I see that sky— We never really said goodbye. (Final Chorus) In our backyard universe, Where time and truth both reversed. You were the sun, and I was cursed, Still orbiting you forever. Yeah, our backyard universe— I still see you there, In every star that burns. (Outro) Our backyard universe… Still spinning somewhere.
