Lyrics

Bedsheet capes
On the laundry line
Cardboard cockpit
In a banking climb
We drew dragons
On the driveway chalk
Raced the thunder
Down the sidewalk
We were backyard brave
No map
Just running
Plastic swords
Our hearts still drumming
Climbed that rusted fence like a mountain range
Every scraped-up knee meant something changed
We were shouting at the sky
"We're flying!" (hey!)
Landing in the grass
Still trying
To keep that kid inside awake
We were backyard
We were backyard brave
Half-melted cones
Down our forearms drip
Trading secrets
On the jungle gym
Made a promise
By the crooked tree
"I'll go first
If you follow me"
You said
"What if we fall?"
I said
"What if we don't?"
You laughed so hard you coughed
And jumped
And somehow we both
Got grown
We were backyard brave
No map
Just running
Plastic swords
Our hearts still drumming
Climbed that rusted fence like a mountain range
Every scraped-up knee meant something changed
We were shouting at the sky
"We're flying!" (oh yeah)
Landing in the grass
Still trying
To keep that kid inside awake
We were backyard
We were backyard brave
Remember summer in a paper crown?
Fireflies
Jars we never counted down
We said "Someday
We'll outrun the rain"
Guess someday's still calling our names
We're still backyard brave
Hearts wide open
Same wild nerve
Just a little more spoken
Call that rusted fence our starting line
Every old bruise turning into shine
We're still shouting at the sky
"We're trying!" (woah)
Catching every fall
Still climbing
I'll keep that kid in you awake
We're still backyard
We're still backyard brave
