“We Grew Up While We Were Falling” (Duet)

HIM:

School tie loose, hoodie over the blazer

Acting hard, but I was just scared of later

Bus rides home, arguing for no reason

Teenage pride had me fighting my feelings

We’d shout in the rain by the corner shop light

Say things we can’t take back late at night

I’d walk off first just to prove I was strong

Didn’t know walking away was doing you wrong

HER:

I was crying in my room, phone clenched tight

Reading your message for the hundredth time

Friends saying “leave him, he’s just a boy”

But you were my comfort and my noise

I loved you loud, I loved you messy

Teenage heart wasn’t built steady

Every fight felt like the end of us

But I still waited for the bus

HOOK (TOGETHER – Sung):

We were kids tryna play grown

Learning love on our own

Too young for the weight we held

But we held it anyway

We grew up while we were falling

Every night felt like a warning

Still we stayed, still we tried

Teenage hearts don’t know how to hide

HIM:

Pregnancy scare, sat quiet on the bed

Heart racing louder than the words we said

I said “it’ll be fine” but my voice shook

Reality hit harder than any look

I was thinking work boots, not designer dreams

Thinking how to be a man at seventeen

Mum shouting, dad disappointed

Whole future felt disjointed

HER:

I was staring at the test in shaking hands

Thinking “how did life change this fast?”

Scared you’d run, scared I’d be alone

Scared of becoming something grown

But when you stayed, even scared as hell

That meant more than you’ll ever tell

We weren’t ready, we weren’t sure

But love made us endure

HOOK (TOGETHER):

We were kids tryna play grown

Carrying weight we’d never known

Too young for the choices made

But we faced them anyway

We grew up while we were falling

From late-night fights to early mornings

Still we stayed, scars and all

Teenage love makes you tall

HIM (Rap):

First job, steel-toe boots, minimum pay

Alarm clock screaming at 5am

Hands sore, pride bruised, but I showed up

’Cause loving you meant growing up

Watching mates still chasing nights

While I’m counting coins, trying to get life right

Didn’t know strength looked like this

Just knew I couldn’t quit

HER (Melodic):

I watched you change, watched you try

Saw the fear behind your eyes

You weren’t perfect, neither was I

But we learned together how to survive

BRIDGE (Back & Forth):

HER: We said things we didn’t mean

HIM: Let anger talk when we should’ve listened

HER: Slammed doors, tears on sleeves

HIM: But I never stopped choosing you

HER: Even when we nearly broke

HIM: Even when the world felt heavy

TOGETHER: We grew from the cracks we made

FINAL HOOK (TOGETHER – Big & Emotional):

We were young in a cold UK town

Rain-soaked streets, love breaking down

From school gates to working days

We aged years in a teenage phase

We grew up while we were falling

Learning life without a warning

If I look back, truth still stays

You were my growing-up days

OUTRO (Soft – Together):

Not just first love…

But first lessons.

First fears.

First time we became who we are.
