Backyard Stars Rewrite Lyrics

God

You look gorgeous

But I can't afford this

Beloved before us

And I made your breakfast

Made it for two

Having all this; I can't get rid of you

For a second

I felt your presence

Or maybe just a sigh

And I read your favourite book for a night

Couldn't move on

Am I doing this right?

I don't know when the mourning ends

But then again I don't know when

It starts

Am I playing my parts?

For backyard stars

Backyard stars

Backyard stars

Backyard stars

We'll tear into a tin

My home you'll break in

The strings of my heart

Have drawn me thin

And I can't just pick

A frame to conflict

Inside my mind

Hours at a time

And I'll wrap your meal

In glad wrap and everything

Put it in the fridge

And maybe you'll come later on

I'm hopeful but I'm doubtful too

Look at the door

Hope it's you that comes through

And you'll play my heartstrings

Like I play guitar

And I'll wait for you

Like I'm weighing arms

It might take me far

Oh backyard stars

Backyard Stars

Backyard Stars

And you never came

Came through that door

My mind isn't poor

It's motions galore

Composure

Such a cruel act

Knowing that I knew

You'll never come back

Now I've moved on

Got a girlfriend and a car

Your melody survives

I've taken it far

Taken it far

You make me feel useful

Make me glad to be alone

I'm glad that you watched

What I've become

Gonna take some time off

To drive myself back
