Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We used to skip the hard parts
Run with paint on our hands
Sour candy in your pocket
Cheap speakers in the sand
No one needed a reason
No one needed a pose
You wore your old back jeans
And I wore mine too close
[Pre-Chorus]
Now everybody’s careful
Everybody plays it cool
We learned to fake a smile
Like it’s some kind of rule
But I still miss that summer
When we said what we meant
If you were a mess, you were mine
And that was enough then
[Chorus]
Backyard July
(Backyard July)
We were so alive
(so alive)
No mask, no lie
(no mask, no lie)
Just you and I
Backyard July
(Backyard July)
We could breathe inside
(breathe inside)
No need to hide
(no need to hide)
Backyard July
[Verse 2]
I still see the blue bike chain
Rust on the front gate
Laughing through the sprinkler
Dirt on a dinner plate
We talked in half-cut sentences
Dreamed with our shoes off
Nobody had a filter
Nobody had to show off
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the room gets quiet
When the truth gets close
Everybody’s got a costume
Everybody’s got a pose
But I still hear your name
When the summer wind hits
Like we were born unguarded
Like we were made for this
[Chorus]
Backyard July
(Backyard July)
We were so alive
(so alive)
No mask, no lie
(no mask, no lie)
Just you and I
Backyard July
(Backyard July)
We could breathe inside
(breathe inside)
No need to hide
(no need to hide)
Backyard July
[Bridge]
If I could roll it back
To the screen door slam
To the scraped-up knees
And the open hands
I’d leave the fear behind
I’d leave the faces too
I’d run straight through that summer
And end up next to you
[Final Chorus]
Backyard July
(Backyard July)
We were so alive
(so alive)
No mask, no lie
(no mask, no lie)
Just you and I
Backyard July
(Backyard July)
We could breathe inside
(breathe inside)
No need to hide
(no need to hide)
Backyard July
