Josh Leahy - Backyard Lyrics

It's so easy to say the words you want to say
It never seems to worry you in any way
I wish I could spit it out as good as you
I always have to pause and take a beat or two
And when I let it out, I guess I always fear
My thoughts are not conveyed, I am not being clear
But I want to speak my mind, now, don't you get me wrong
I just have to write it out or put it in a song
I bought a pack of pencils at the dollar store
I brought them home and searched inside my heart some more
I sharpened one and wrote something to sing to you
I thought I'd fall in love; I thought that you would too
But I was never bold enough to bring it out
I always lacked the courage; I was filled with doubt
And time moved on, 'cause time is sad and time is hard
But do you think that we could meet in your backyard
Let's not talk about the news or politics
Let's not parrot YouTube televangelists
Let's not dream of luxury amenities
Let's not fetishize lives of celebrities
Let's not discuss all the things we can't control
Let's get up and take ourselves a little stroll
I want to say it now before I'm out of time
I loved you then, I love you now, say you'll be mine
