[Verse 1] Found a crater by the grill this morning Right between the weeds and the hose Glowing like a lost phone on the sidewalk Humming secrets nobody knows Poked it once with dad’s old nine iron Smelled like rain and burnt toast mixed Neighbor said “That’s probably bad karma” Took a selfie with it anyway Click [Chorus] I got a leftover meteor in my backyard Fallen star Stuck in the dandelions Everybody else keeps wishing on the sky Mine landed here And I’m still trying To figure what to do with this rock That came too far Leftover meteor in my backyard [Verse 2] Mom said “Call somebody from the college” I said “Nah They’ll just give it a tag” Wrapped it in an old team blanket Turned it into my personal swag At night it makes my fence posts shimmer Dog just stares and tilts his head I lie back and ask it stupid questions It just glows a quiet answer red [Chorus] I got a leftover meteor in my backyard Fallen star Stuck in the dandelions Everybody else keeps wishing on the sky Mine landed here And I’m still trying To figure what to do with this rock That came too far Leftover meteor in my backyard [Bridge] Maybe it missed some destined kingdom (oh) Maybe it dodged some crowded shore Maybe I’m just some random human It chose instead of billions more [Chorus] I got a leftover meteor in my backyard Fallen star Stuck in the dandelions Everybody else keeps wishing on the sky Mine landed here And I’m still trying To live like I deserve this rock From way past Mars Leftover meteor in my backyard
