A Backyard

I miss you

But I don't have the time

Where I could make it right

I float on through

See, you're on solid ground

And I act like you're ghosting me

An older brother to you

An older brother to me

That's what it seemed like since, like, always

Now, you're a father for three

Feels like you're fathering me

In a weird, weird, weird, weird way

But I like it

And I might just stay

'Cause I miss these days

Your daughter

Your neighbors

I wish they knew my name

Show me your garage

And tour me through the yard

There's dirt on your guitar

You drop me at the bus stop

And send me along

The way you build me up makes me feel so small

Would you rake a pile of leaves

So the both of us could break our falls?

And most of the time

It's like we slide right by each other

Oh, the solder splits, yeah, I moved too quick

Oh, you mail me a family picture

But I can't get the nerve to call

What I'm trying to say

I swear it happens every day

I start writing to you

But I can't get out of my own way

Does it matter to you?

Is there something that I can do?

It's all piled up on your plate

Man, your garden's looking great

And I like it

So I might just stay

'Cause I miss these days

Your daughter

Your neighbors

I wish they knew my name

Yeah, I like it

So I might just stay

'Cause I miss these days

Your daughter

Your neighbors

I wish they knew my name
