Backyards And Basements
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There's a bird on the telephone pole
That I spot from the car in the lot where we all used to go
We used to call home
And it's staring me down
While it's perched all alone
Like it owns this whole town where we've grown
I guess it's taken over
Over all that you know I could be anyone you want me to be
And for all that I know lately you could be a stranger to me
Oh to me
Oh if we had more time to stay up all night
In the backyards and the basements we knew the most
Oh maybe we would know who we'd become
So tell me
Who did you think I would be?
There's a light that was left on
In a room where you used to go when you were alone
Where we used to call home
And I'm watching it burn out
Like the time we used up when we never cared at all
To turn it off
To turn it off
And for all that I know that you could be a stranger to me
Oh to me
Oh if we had more time to stay up all night
In the backyards and the basements we knew the most
And oh maybe we would know who we'd become
So tell me
Oh tell me oh
Who did you think I would be?
And oh all that I would now
The bird now
The bird now
If we had more time to stay up all night
In the backyards and the basements we knew the most
And oh maybe we would know who we'd become
So tell me
Who did you think I would be?
Oh tell me
And for all that you know I could be anyone you want me to be
