Window to Your Backyard (versione 2)

Verse

Screen door rattling like a old wooden gate

Radio static through the windows late

You're standing barefoot by the lamp post glow

Painting stars on paper that you wrote in pencil mode

Pre-Chorus

So tell me something I already know

But say it slow, make it count as slow

I'm hanging here like a raindrop hangs

Hoping summer never learns to end at all

Chorus

Your backyard light through my windowpane

Gold on the fence where the creek turns grey

Everything else is background noise tonight

It's just you and me on this same old street

Window open, nothing but the crickets' hum

This whole world stops for one more summer

Hold the frame tight and watch the sky turn blue

Verse 2

Your momma's porch light flickers twice like code

The fireflies think it's Friday night over home

You're counting fireflies like they're shooting stars

Saying we'll never move, never lose this spark

Pre-Chorus

So tell me something I already know

But say it slow, make it count as slow

I'm hanging here like a raindrop hangs

Hoping summer never learns to end at all

Chorus

Your backyard light through my windowpane

Gold on the fence where the creek turns grey

Everything else is background noise tonight

It's just you and me on this same old street

Window open, nothing but the crickets' hum

This whole world stops for one more summer

Hold the frame tight and watch the sky turn blue

Bridge

Maybe we won't stay here forever

Maybe someday that fence gets weathered

But tonight I don't care about tomorrow

Tonight I just want you right there with me in the glow

Chorus

Your backyard light through my windowpane

Gold on the fence where the creek turns grey

Everything else is background noise tonight

It's just you and me on this same old street

Window open, nothing but the crickets' hum

This whole world stops for one more summer

Hold the frame tight and watch the sky turn blue
