[Intro]
Soft streetlights hum as the night forgives the day
Two names on a weathered gate, we walked the same old way
[Verse 1]
We were kids with pockets full of summer plans
Trading secrets in the chalk-line shadows of our hands
We learned to face the storms with a stubborn, stubborn grin
Growing up beside you, brother, you were my north star then
[Pre-Chorus]
And maybe time slipped through our fingers like a tide
But every memory still shines when you’re by my side
[Chorus]
We carried unspoken promises from the start
Two hearts learning the map of the same stubborn, spinning art
Through the roughest nights, your laugh was my repair
Long after years have changed our names, your light takes me there
[Verse 2]
We built a shelter from the fear we tried to hide
Met the world on the porch with a weathered, honest pride
We faced the long roads, learned to bend but not break
A truth we found together, that home is not a place
[Pre-Chorus]
And even when the road widened into separate miles
I hear your voice in every long-forgotten smile
[Chorus]
We carried unspoken promises from the start
Two hearts learning the map of the same stubborn, spinning art
Through the roughest nights, your laugh was my repair
Long after years have changed our names, your light takes me there
[Bridge]
If life is a chapter, we’ve penned the margins wide
Inked in laughter, in salvaged plans, in endless tides
[Chorus]
We carried unspoken promises from the start
Two hearts learning the map of the same stubborn, spinning art
Through the roughest nights, your laugh was my repair
Long after years have changed our names, your light takes me there
[Outro]
Side by side, we’re grown, yet the shoreline stays the same
Two brothers, one story, forever calling out your name
