Growing In Two Voices

[Intro] We were pencils with frayed ends, scribbled dreams in neon lights Two paths in the hallway, silhouettes in the fluorescent nights [Verse 1] You wore the loud jacket, stitched with every rumor spun I tucked my doubts in headphones, listening to a louder sun We traded secrets under stairwells, where lockers held our chords Finding courage in small bruises, learning what a voice rewards [Pre-Chorus] If my blush could speak, it would shout your name in sketched borders If yours could breathe, it would echo mine in measured orders [Chorus] We’re growing, you and I, through awkward steps and imperfect lines identities bloom in shadowed corners, in truth we redefine Hand in hand through the cafeteria light, we rise despite the storms we carry Young and loud in fragile hearts, we find our own kind of glory [Verse 2] You scribble rebellion in a diary of comic-page bravado I measure wings on the floor, pretending I don’t feel hollow But we swap the mirrors for laughter, a stubborn kind of grace Booking futures from the wreckage of a first-take teenage pace [Pre-Chorus] If my fear could step aside, it would applaud your fearless glare If yours could soften, it would claim that I’m already there [Chorus] We’re growing, you and I, through awkward steps and imperfect lines identities bloom in shadowed corners, in truth we redefine Hand in hand through the cafeteria light, we rise despite the storms we carry Young and loud in fragile hearts, we find our own kind of glory [Bridge] We learn to change our minds and still believe in where we began We braid our flaws into crowns, and call them what we’ve become [Chorus] We’re growing, you and I, through awkward steps and imperfect lines identities bloom in shadowed corners, in truth we redefine Hand in hand through the cafeteria light, we rise despite the storms we carry Young and loud in fragile hearts, we find our own kind of glory [Outro] So here’s to the messy photos and the whispered late-night schemes To the quiet rebellions and the shared, uncertain dreams We’ll carry these chapters as we push toward what’s to be Two imperfect stars, still learning how to shine, together we’ll be free
