Why can't we be how we were in the backyard?
Simple days of hand in hand
Your lasso, my tiara
You and I and hide behind the roses bed
My wand, your plastic bazooka
Lost in the backyard
Your lasso, my tiara
My wand, your plastic bazooka
My wand, your plastic bazooka
Why can't we be how we were in the backyard?
My childish ways and your sarcasm
Where did we leave them?
Silly jokes and fairy tales
Lost you in the backyard
Lost in the backyard
You hide and seek, I catch you
In the backyard
Our buried treasure, it just waits
Your cowboy hat, my tutu
You hide and seek, I catch you
Your lasso, my tiara
Lost in the backyard
Why can't we be how we were in the backyard?
Somehow life just complicates
Why can't we be how we were in the backyard?
You can still meet me in the garden
And we're too busy doing things
We haven't noticed what's missing
Why can't we be how we were in the backyard?
Your cowboy hat, my tutu
And drawing our names in the sand
Your cowboy hat, my tutu
Lost in the backyard
Where's the fun we used to have?
Lost in the backyard again
You and I, you and I
Why can't we be how we were in the backyard?
In the backyard
You hide and seek, I catch you
