[Verse 1]
We used to chase
Different runways
Different gates
Stamping pages
Living out of olive drab cases
Deserts
Rain
Different clocks
Same call sign in our veins
Didn’t know
You were out there breathing in my echo
[Pre-Chorus]
Same stars over every base
Same letters on our name tapes
We were strangers in the same frame
Didn’t know your face
But I said your name (under my breath)
[Chorus]
We were strangers under the same sky
Now you’re coffee in my sunrise
Dog tags hanging on the same nail
Boots by the door
Same worn trail
From your rack on the other side of earth
To this bed where your heartbeat comes first
Same sky
Now it’s the same roof
Same home
Same love
Me and you (oh yeah)
[Verse 2]
You had sand
Still hiding in your folded duffel bag
I had maps
Folded corners where I’d try to call you back
Mess hall noise
Laughing with a room of tired voices
Didn’t see
You were three time zones away thinking of me
[Pre-Chorus]
Same jets cutting through the blue
Same countdowns
Different views
We were prayers in the same air
Didn’t touch
But something kept us there (pulling us close)
[Chorus]
We were strangers under the same sky
Now you’re coffee in my sunrise
Dog tags hanging on the same nail
Boots by the door
Same worn trail
From your rack on the other side of earth
To this bed where your heartbeat comes first
Same sky
Now it’s the same roof
Same home
Same love
Me and you (me and you)
[Bridge]
PCS orders on the counter
But this time we move together (hey)
New town
Same brown couch
Same hand in stormy weather
If the world calls
We’ll pack again
Same oath written in our bones
But every flight
Every fight we take
Leads us back
Leads us back home
[Chorus]
We were strangers under the same sky
Now you’re coffee in my sunrise
Dog tags hanging on the same nail
Boots by the door
Same worn trail
From your rack on the other side of earth
To this bed where your heartbeat comes first
Same sky
Now it’s the same roof
Same home
Same love
Me and you
Same sky
Now it’s the same roof
Same home
Same heart
Seeing it through
