[Pre-Intro]
We carved forever in the splintered wood
Folded paper promises where the old hut stood
Names in the cracks like a time capsule prayer
Saying “don’t leave me behind” and you stayed there
[Intro]
College halls and blown-out speakers
Dragging music through the streets like dreamers
People staring while we screamed the words
Three messed up kids trying to feel heard
[Verse 1]
Bus rides home with our headphones loud
Laughing too hard, getting stared at by crowds
Hours felt short when it was us three
Somehow you made time move easy
[Pre-Chorus]
Sleepovers lit by the TV blue
Laughing so hard like we always do
Cheap drinks, red eyes, stumbling through the night
But somehow with you everything feels right
[Chorus]
And I swear no one compares
Not the people I met when the world got big
Not the fake cool crowds or the college kids
You stayed the same through every phase
Through every mess and every bad day
We take the piss, yeah we tear each other down
Laugh so hard we nearly hit the ground
But underneath every joke and shove
There’s a kind of loyalty people dream of
[Verse 2]
I know one hates all the crowded noise
Drunk loud rooms and shouting boys
I know one hates when voices rise
Conflict sitting heavy in their eyes
And somehow you still stayed with me
Through every chaotic piece of me
You know the overthinking in my head
The things I never fully said
Getting drunk and telling truths
Kitchen floor nights with nothing to lose
Every secret sitting safe with you
Never judged me for the shit I do
[Pre-Chorus]
And if I’m lost you somehow know
When to stay and when to joke
You understand me without trying to
Like no one else could ever do
[Chorus]
And I swear no one compares
Not the people I met when the world got big
Not the fake cool crowds or the college kids
You stayed the same through every phase
Through every mess and every bad day
We take the piss, yeah we tear each other down
Laugh so hard we nearly hit the ground
But underneath every joke and shove
There’s a kind of loyalty people dream of
[Bridge]
And if the years move fast someday
If cities change and we drift away
There’s still a hut inside my chest
With our paper names where they still rest
Three idiots making forever vows
Not knowing then what we know now
Some friendships don’t fade with time
Some people stay for life
[Final Chorus]
No one compares
No one gets close
Not to the nights that we needed most
The drunk confessions, the stupid fights
The music blasting through the night
And when we’re old with aching bones
Still talking shit like we’re sixteen stoned
I’ll laugh and think somehow we knew
That forever looked a lot like you two
