It's been too long 
Don't think I've seen you smile at me for quite a while 
And we're too busy doing things 
We haven't noticed what's missing 
Where's the fun we used to have? 
My childish ways and your sarcasm 
Silly jokes and fairy tales 
Where did we leave them? 
Lost in the backyard 
Your lasso my tiara 
My wand, your plastic bazooka 
Why can't we be how we were 
In the backyard 

Your cowboy hat, my tutu 
You hide and seek, I catch you 
Why can't we be how we were in the backyard 
Simple days of hand in hand 
And drawing our names in the sand 
Somehow life just complicates 
Our buried treasure it just waits 
Lost in the backyard 
You can still meet me in the garden 
You and I and hide behind the rosebed 
You and I 
You and I 
Lost in the backyard again
