Lyrics

Title: “Backyard After Dark”
(A Love Song for the Midnight Shift)

(Verse 1)
Shoes by the door, plates in the sink
Monitor hums, gives us time to think
He’s dreaming big in his tiny bed
We’ve got two hours before we crash instead

Garage door lifts, speakers sync
One look, one nod, no need to think
We’ve been through storms, through war, through grace
Now it’s just us—and the bass

(Pre-Chorus)
This is the calm after the storm
The part where grown-up souls transform
No sitter, no scene, no neon crowd
Just a sacred beat, played loud

(Drop / Chorus)
Backyard after dark
We fire it up and hit restart
Two hearts wired, bodies loose
Dancing off the daily use
Backyard after dark
No likes, no lights, just spark
Where love meets sound and we let go—
Our private show

(Verse 2)
Heels traded in for bare feet grace
Flash of a smile, no time to waste
The world might think we’ve slowed our roll
But they don’t know we’re on patrol

Guarding joy, defending flame
Laughing while we dodge the game
We don’t need to leave this place—
We’ve built our rave, we’ve made our space

(Bridge)
We don’t chase the highs we knew
We remix them into something true
Sweat and silence, side by side
That’s how we keep the dream alive

(Final Chorus / Drop)
Backyard after dark
It’s not escape, it’s how we spark
We don’t rewind, we reimagine
This dance floor’s lit with love and passion
Backyard after dark
Heartbeat tempo, starlit arc
We were made for this exact release—
Our midnight peace

(Outro)
Just one more track…
Just one more kiss…
And this world makes perfect sense
