[Verse 1] Found a rock in my backyard Glowing faint behind the shed Mom said “that’s just old junk” But it hummed inside my head I poked it with a broken rake It steamed and spelled my name Now every time the porch light flickers I know that thing’s to blame [Chorus] I got a leftover meteor in my backyard Probably from a wish that went too hard Neighbors think it’s just a burned-out car part But it beats Beats Beats like my scared heart Yeah A leftover meteor in my backyard Keeps waking up my quiet little yard If it takes off I’m hanging on real hard To my leftover meteor in my backyard [Verse 2] It sizzles when the sprinklers hit Smells like rain and summer wire I sit cross-legged in the dirt Roasting marshmallows on its fire I tell it all my stupid plans It answers back in sparks Tiny stars on plastic chairs Lighting up the dark [Chorus] I got a leftover meteor in my backyard Probably from a wish that went too hard Neighbors think it’s just a burned-out car part But it beats Beats Beats like my scared heart Yeah A leftover meteor in my backyard Keeps waking up my quiet little yard If it takes off I’m hanging on real hard To my leftover meteor in my backyard [Bridge] What if it’s a doorway? What if it’s a dare? [Beat drops to claps Bass line walking] What if I just jump in Don’t ask where? (oh, oh) I press my palm It warms my skin Feels like trouble Feels like kin [Chorus] I got a leftover meteor in my backyard Probably from a wish that went too hard Neighbors think it’s just a burned-out car part But it beats Beats Beats like my scared heart Yeah A leftover meteor in my backyard Keeps whispering “you’re not stuck You’re starred” If it takes off I’m riding past the yard On my leftover meteor in my backyard
