I forgot to water my plants again And I've spent three hours
on a pixel game
Writing songs I will never play
To keep from calling up your name
But I still think about that summer night
Underneath the patio light
I'm overthinking every word I said
(yeah) Spinning circles in my messy head
And I am clumsy,
but I'm trying hard
To build a rocket in our own backyard To take us back
to where the days were long And we both knew the words
to every song (ooh-ooh)
I bought a book that I will never read
Just because the cover made me think of you
Now I'm standing in the grocery aisle
Wondering if you're awkward too
Maybe we are just two broken gears
Spun around for all these years I'm overthinking every word I said
(yeah) Spinning circles in my messy head
And I am clumsy,
but I'm trying hard
To build a rocket in our own backyard To take us back
to where the days were long And we both knew the words
to every song (ooh-ooh)
Sometimes the world is loud and strange
And we're too scared of how things change (ahhh)
But I like the mess we make
Every little sweet mistake
And I am clumsy,
but I'm trying hard
To build a rocket in our own backyard To take us back
to where the days were long And we both knew the words
to every song (yeah,
yeah)
Our own backyard... Just a couple of kids on a lawn (hmmm)
