The Mangroves – Ric’s Backyard

The Mangroves – Ric’s Backyard Lyrics

Artist: The Mangroves
Song: Ric’s Backyard

Well, it’s 9 o’clock on a Saturday
Regular crowd shuffles in
There’s a young guy standing next to me
Smelling of darts and an old council bin

I tell the bartender I’m deso
As I fill a Coke up with my flask
See, we all just like to get on around here
You just have to know who to ask

There’s a DJ who’s remixing Lizzo
And a girl who’s just dropped her phone
I’m looking around when I spotted you
And I knew I’d found my new home

I fell in love in Ric’s Backyard
I took your hand and you took my heart
The way you looked at me
I knew it from the start in Ric’s Backyard

Well, we’re struggling to get in an Uber
So we jump in a taxi real quick
The driver asks how we know each other
We’re both friends of Ric

We go to your share house in Red Hill
Where your housemates are all up at home
Well, we’re awkwardly making some small talk
‘Cause we’d rather be together alone

So we move to the room with the fairy lights
And sit on the bed on the floor
There’s photos of you in a different life
Plastered all over the walls

You say, ‘I don’t usually do things like this
But something about this feels right
Surely it must have been fate that we kissed
And that you were at Ric’s tonight’

I fell in love in Ric’s Backyard
I took your hand and you took my heart
The way you looked at me
I knew it from the start in Ric’s Backyard

Why haven’t we spoken since that night?
Why don’t you answer your phone?
Now I’m just back at Ric’s every night
‘Cause it’s better than drinking alone

You hung my heart on a hills-hoist
Made me feel cheap like a $4 drink
We could have had our own backyard
I cry into Ric’s bathroom sink

Then I spot you through the crowd
How do you know G Flip?
Even though the music is loud
It feels like just you, me, and Ric

You ask my why I never called
I mistook a 9 for a 4
So we jugged and danced and kissed all night
And wrote our names all over the walls

I fell in love in Ric’s Backyard
I took your hand and you took my heart
The way you looked at me
I knew it from the start in Ric’s Backyard

I fell in love in Ric’s Backyard (I’m getting some chips)
I fell in love in Ric’s Backyard (The line was too long)
I fell in love in Ric’s Backyard (My chinos just ripped)
I fell in love in Ric’s Backyard

I fell in love in Ric’s Backyard
I took your hand and you took my heart
The way you looked at me
I knew it from the start in Ric’s Backyard

I fell in love in Ric’s Backyard
I took your hand and you took my heart
The way you looked at me
I knew it from the start in Ric’s Backyard
