Backyard – Leo Alexander Lyrics

First kiss after a break-up’s always gonna be kinda sour

But it feels good holding hands together by the tower

With someone new for a change

First time getting coffee with someone who doesn’t fight for power

In conversations, desperately hiding he’s a coward

He knows better, that’s a change

And yet, there’s still jealousy

From the one who broke up with me

I wanna move on happily

Date boys, kiss guys, live carefree

You keep talkin’ down to me

Chippin’ away at self-esteem

I’m shutting doors, I’ll shut you out

My garden never makes a sound

I don’t wanna stay on guard

So, I’ll lock you in my backyard

Crystal ball reassures me that I’m doing the right thing

Nothing’s more comforting than constant prophecising

Magic 8 Ball knows the game

Says, “He’ll get down on one knee on a summer sunset

You’ll finally move on enough to jump right up and say yes”

Nice to know I’ll be okay

And yet, they’re still doubting me

Think I’ll repeat history

I wanna move on happily

Date boys, kiss guys, live carefree

You keep talkin’ down to me

Chippin’ away at self-esteem

I’m shutting doors, I’ll shut you out

My garden never makes a sound

I don’t wanna stay on guard

So, I’ll lock you in my backyard

You’re at the slide next to where the flowers grow

You were by my side, but you had to let it go

There’s a box and a spade so go dig yourself a hole

Lay in there and ponder how you almost had it all

I wanna move on happily

Date boys, kiss guys, live carefree

You keep talkin’ down to me

Chippin’ away at self-esteem

I’m shutting doors, I’ll shut you out

My garden never makes a sound

I don’t wanna stay on guard

So, I’ll lock you in my backyard

You’re at the slide next to where the flowers grow

You were by my side, but you had to let it go

There’s a box and a spade so go dig yourself a hole

Lay in there and ponder how you almost had it all

Lay in there and wonder how you went and lost it all
