I’ve been counting hours, counting change,
Grading papers late, calling it faith,
Hands are tired but my heart still fights,
‘Cause loving you two makes the dark feel light.
We’ve lived on hope and borrowed dreams,
Quiet prayers and thrift-store jeans,
But every time I look at you,
I know I’m doing something right.
I broke the chains they handed down,
Drew a line, stood my ground,
If pain was taught, then love’s the lesson,
And you’re my greatest confession.
You’re my twin stars in a restless sky,
Different flames but the same bright light,
Every scar, every sleepless night,
Was worth the fight just to see you shine.
I don’t need more than what I see—
Two souls who made a better me,
My whole heart split perfectly,
My twin stars… my everything.
Collette, you run like the wind won’t catch you,
Shoes on fire, dreams stacked high,
Carrot-colored joy in your laughter,
Art on your hands, hope in your eyes.
You change your plans like seasons change,
And baby, that’s not something strange,
You don’t have to know who you’ll be,
Just promise you’ll keep being you to me.
You’re afraid that falling means losing my love,
That perfection’s the price of being enough,
But hear me now, don’t miss this part—
You could break, and I’d still choose your heart.
You’re my twin stars in a restless sky,
Different flames but the same bright light,
Every tear you try to hide,
I see you, baby, every time.
You don’t have to earn my love,
You were enough the day you showed up,
My whole heart split perfectly,
My twin stars… my everything.
Ryder, you carry the world so quiet,
An old soul behind young eyes,
You leave the last bite on the table,
Put your needs back in line.
You stand so tall without a sound,
Trying to be the man right now,
Dreaming of a life where I can rest,
Son, you already passed the test.
You hide your tears, you armor your heart,
Think strength means pulling yourself apart,
But you don’t have to protect me alone,
I’m still your mom—you can come home.
You’re my twin stars in a restless sky,
Different flames but the same bright light,
Every feeling you lock inside,
I feel it too, you don’t have to hide.
You don’t have to save me, son,
Just let yourself be loved by one,
My whole heart split perfectly,
My twin stars… my everything.
We’ve got cats at our feet, old movies on repeat,
Laughter louder than the bills we can’t beat,
If love was money, we’d be rich in our sleep,
‘Cause everything I am is yours to keep.
I don’t have it all, but hear me say—
I’d live this life again the same damn way.
You’re my twin stars in a restless sky,
Proof that broken things can rise,
If the world ever makes you doubt your worth,
Remember—you were my miracle first.
No failure, no fear, no wrong turn road,
Could ever change this truth I hold:
My whole heart split perfectly,
My twin stars… my legacy.
If I leave you one thing, let it be clear—
My love won’t fade, it’s always here.
No matter how far, no matter how grown,
You’ll never walk this life alone.
