Backyard Static

[Verse 1]
Old couch on the sidewalk
Shoes kicked by the back door
Laughed so hard my drink spilled
Phone dead
We don’t care anymore
Trash talk over cheap food
One by one the walls fall
You say you’re scared of growing up
I say I’m scared I’ll lose you all
[Chorus]
We’re just chillin with the homies till the world turns off
Talking ’bout the big things like we know it all
If this is all we ever get
I’m fine right here
Under busted porch bulbs
Drowning out our fear
We’re just chillin with the homies
Letting time dissolve
If tomorrow doesn’t come
That’s still our fault to solve
[Verse 2]
You light up a bad day
Spark flies
We forget the rain
Same jokes
Different heartbreaks
Same hoodie hiding every stain
You say you hate your mirror
I say I hate my mind
But in this stupid backyard
We almost feel aligned (yeah)
[Chorus]
We’re just chillin with the homies till the world turns off
Talking ’bout the big things like we know it all
If this is all we ever get
I’m fine right here
Under busted porch bulbs
Drowning out our fear
We’re just chillin with the homies
Letting time dissolve
If tomorrow doesn’t come
That’s still our fault to solve
[Bridge]
What if this is the high point?
What if this is the last night?
Would we say the quiet parts out loud
Or just laugh it off
Say we’re alright? (we’re alright)
[Chorus]
We’re just chillin with the homies till the world turns off
Talking ’bout the big things like we know it all
If this is all we ever get
I’m fine right here
Under busted porch bulbs
Drowning out our fear
We’re just chillin with the homies
Letting time dissolve
If tomorrow doesn’t come
We’ll still be
Chillin with the homies when the world turns off
