[Intro]
Hey
Hey, yeah

[Verse 1]
It's been too long
Don't think I've seen you smile at me for quite a while
And we're too busy doing things
We haven't noticed what's missing
Where's the fun we used to have?
My childish ways and your sarcasm
Silly jokes and fairy tales, where did we leave them?
Lost in the backyard (Ooh)

[Chorus]
Your lasso, my tiara
My wand, your plastic bazooka
Why can't we be how we were, in the backyard?
Your cowboy hat, my tutu
You hide and seek, I catch you
Why can't we be how we were, in the backyard?
In the backyard

[Verse 2]
Simple days of hand in hand, and drawing our names in the sand
Somehow life just complicates, our buried treasure, it just waits
Lost in the backyard (Ooh)
[Chorus]
Your lasso, my tiara
My wand, your plastic bazooka
Why can't we be how we were, in the backyard?
Your cowboy hat, my tutu
You hide and seek, I catch you
Why can't we be how we were, in the backyard?
In the backyard

[Bridge]
Oh, oh, oh
In the backyard
Lost, in the backyard
Lost you, in the backyard
Oh, oh, oh
In the backyard
You can still meet me in the garden, you and I
And hide behind the roses bed
You and I, you and I, lost in the backyard, again

[Chorus]
Your lasso, my tiara
My wand, your plastic bazooka
Why can't we be how we were, in the backyard?
Your cowboy hat, my tutu
You hide and seek, I catch you
Why can't we be how we were in the backyard?
In the backyard
