Lyrics
My backyard is very small,
The trees and flowers aren?t very tall.
I can hear my neighbors walking in their house,
It?s funny when they catch me looking out.
Do you remember me? You probably heard me playing.
My amp was up too loud, couldn?t hear what you were saying.
Ice cream man thinks I should try something new,
Last time my ice cream turned my mouth blue.
I like to watch the ants drowning in the rain,
Bubble baths with spiders swirling down the drain;
Causing self-inflicted pain.
It?s things like these that help me stay sane.
My hand hurts ?cause I really can?t play,
Maybe I?ll finish this song someday.
Window?s open and it?s getting cold,
Wouldn?t be so bad if I had someone to hold.
My best friend lives far away,
I haven?t seen her in many days.
We don?t write much she?s got school,
I don?t do shit, but that?s still cool.
Chorus
My backyard is very small,
The trees and flowers aren?t very tall.
I can hear my neighbors walking in their house,
It?s funny when they catch me looking out.
