You said this is the last tDime
A few times Gago
Once more its Dhappened
Thats all in the world I Aknow
Pre-Chorus 1:
I still hear the eDcho
When you hung up the Gphone
I feel like I'm lDost in the backyard
AJust tryin' to get Dhome
Verse 2:
I woke up in a strange world
I can aptly describe
Like the streets of a town where I lived
When I was too young to drive
Pre-Chorus 2:
It all looked so familiar
But I can't find my way
I must have got lost in the backyard
When I went out to play
Chorus:
Don't open my Aeyes
To nothin' like Dtruth
Just leave it all lGost in the wind
DLet it hide in the blindness of yAouth
Facts of the mDatter
Most likely will always reGmain
I guess I'll be lDost in the backyard
ATill I get home agDain
Chorus 2:
Don't open my eyes
To nothin' like truth
Just leave it all lost in the wind
Let it hide in the blindness of youth
Facts of the matter
Most likely will always remain
I'll probably be lost in the backyard
Till I get home again
