Abi Carter - Ghosts In The Backyard Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Climbing up the branches
Used to watch the world from above
Things are so romantic
When you've never been in love
Driving down Alberta
She looks lonelier now
But you're in Oklahoma
And we left a haunted house

[Chorus]
The ghosts in the backyard are throwing a tantrum
The sheets on the clothesline are spinning and dancing
And treehouses feel like they're mansions
And this old home's still holding me ransom

[Verse 2]
Running down the mountain
Your driveway seems so long
Wishes in the fountain
The night we buried your dog
And it's all too much
From the leaves to the mud
When it's said and done
We grew up and we left all these
[Chorus]
Ghosts in the backyard throwing a tantrum
The sheets on the clothesline are spinning and dancing
And treehouses feel like they're mansions
And this old home's still holding me ransom
The ghosts in the backyard are throwing a fit
'Cause the kids who used to play there are no longer kids
Once in a while, you live on as a phantom
This old home's still holding me ransom

[Bridge]
This isn't how I imagined
Burn this city down to the ashes
But, oh, it's still cold
I don't know what I remember
But I searched for you in the embers
Oh, we used to glow

[Outro]
Ghosts in the backyard are kicking and thrashing
Oh, wanna break-in
Take the windows, and smash 'em
Someone moved in but to me, it's abandoned
This old home is still holding us ransom
