We were just kids chasing backyard stars
Laughing loud, pretending we’d go far
Bicycles flying through the midnight air
No maps, no plans, we didn’t care
Fireflies lighting up our street
Barefoot games on summer heat
Pillow forts and radio songs
Thought the nights would last so long
We were just kids chasing backyard stars
Laughing loud, pretending we’d go far
Bicycles flying through the midnight air
No maps, no plans, we didn’t care
Old swing creaks like it knows our names
Scraped-up knees and windowpanes
We’d whisper dreams into the breeze
Writing futures in the trees
Now when the world feels way too loud
I close my eyes and find that cloud
Where echoes of our laughter play
And bring me back to yesterday
We were just kids chasing backyard stars
Hearts wide open, nothing left to guard
Even now when the night feels far
I still remember who we are
Backyard stars, still shining on
In every melody I hum along
