[Verse 1]
(Female)
You were all wrong for me
That’s what the village used to say
I was sharpened steel and stone
You were storms that looked away
(Male)
You were every battle cry
I was every crazy plan
You would roll your eyes at me
Still you always took my hand
[Chorus]
(Both)
Guess we were skybound hearts
Tethered from the start
Falling through the dark till we learned to steer
You were my wild
I was your calm
We fit like armor on a palm
Two stubborn souls that only feel at home up here
Destined like a legend no one else can hear
[Verse 2]
(Female)
You would trip on every step
But never hesitated once
Talking peace in halls of war
Teaching cowards how to trust
(Male)
You could knock me to my knees
With one look and half a smile
Called me out when I lost faith
Stood beside me every trial
[Pre-Chorus]
(Female)
Everyone said “pick the safer road”
(Male)
But you climbed right on when my courage broke
(Both)
Hands on the reins of the great unknown
[Chorus]
(Both)
’Cause we’re skybound hearts
Tethered from the start
Falling through the dark till we learned to steer
You were my fire
I was your song
Somehow we’ve been right all along
Two stubborn souls that only feel at home up here
Destined like a legend no one else can hear
[Bridge]
[Soft instrumental swell
Wordless “oh-oh” harmonies]
(Male)
If the whole world splits in two
I’m still choosing you (hey)
(Female)
If they write us in the tales
Let them tell the truth
(Both)
We were scared
We were brave
We were foolish
We were saved
By a love that only grew when we were afraid
[Chorus]
(Both)
We’re skybound hearts
Tethered from the start
Falling through the dark and we’re still right here
You are my fiercest
I am your shield
Side by side in every field
Two stubborn souls that only feel at home up here
Destined like a legend only we can hear
[Outro]
(Female, soft)
You were all wrong for me
(Male, overlapping)
You were everything I need
(Both, whisper-sung)
Skybound hearts
We were always meant to be
