Lyrics

WHAT ARE WE SIMILAR ABOUT?

[Intro — spoken, curious]

What are we similar about?

Hmm…

Maybe more than we admit.

[Verse 1 — rhythmic, building]

We are both ambitious,

both dreaming too loud,

family in our bones,

standing tall in a crowd.

We are both passionate,

bossy by design,

good at moving people,

good at changing minds.

We talk.

We direct.

We question.

We pray.

We ask for a sign,

then make our own way.

[Pre-Chorus — building]

Both stubborn,

both clever,

both fire under skin.

Both grateful for the battle,

both determined to win.

Hot when we want it,

cold when we choose,

careful with our money—

we don’t like to lose.

[Chorus]

So tell me—

How can two people

be so much the same,

then stand at the border

and give difference the blame?

You saw the distance.

I saw something to cross.

You counted the danger—

I measured the cost.

For the long list of yes,

for the long list of no…

I never saw our difference

as a reason to go.

[Verse 2 — rhythm changes, more spacious]

But we don’t trust the same.

We don’t bend the same.

Tradition held our hands

and taught us different names.

Different cultures.

Different doors.

Different ways of asking God

what we’re searching for.

You hold.

I open.

You push.

I sway.

You call it protection.

I call it another way.

[Pre-Chorus 2]

We are not the same in acceptance.

Not the same in force.

Not the same in how we travel

when life changes course.

You need your ground beneath you.

I test if I can fly.

Maybe that’s the peak between us—

you need answers.

I ask why.

[Chorus]

So tell me—

How can two people

be so much the same,

then stand at the border

and give difference the blame?

You saw the distance.

I saw something to cross.

You counted the danger—

I measured the cost.

For the long list of yes,

for the long list of no…

I never saw our difference

as a reason to go.

[Bridge — stripped, intimate]

Maybe I was wrong.

Maybe you were too.

Maybe love is not agreeing—

but learning how to move.

I never asked you

to become like me.

I only thought our differences

were mountains…

not the sea.

[Final Chorus — bigger]

For the long list of yes,

for the long list of no,

for everything we carry

and everything we don’t show—

You saw the distance.

I saw something to cross.

Maybe that was our difference.

Maybe that was the cost.

[Outro — whispered]

What are we similar about?

Almost everything.

So why…

did difference frighten us?
