Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Boots by the door
Pager on the table
Half-cold coffee
3 a.m. again
Kiss on the cheek
“don’t worry
I’ll be careful”
You just nod
’cause this is how it’s always been
Red coats on hooks
Names on metal lockers
Stories carved in paint and old drywall
Laughter in the bay
Scars under the jokes
Every one of us has heard that one loud call
[Chorus]
When the world runs out
We run in
Through the heat and the smoke and the din
Side by side
We don’t break
We just bend
This is the promise we made back then
Brother
Sister
If you fall
I’m the one who answers when you call
Through the flame
Through it all
We stand
We stand
We stand when others run
[Verse 2]
Backstep ride
Siren on a Sunday
Rattling windows all the way through town
See the faces pressed against the glass
Praying that we’ll find a way to turn this around
Ash in the air
Roof about to give way
Someone shouting out a stranger’s name
Hand on my shoulder
“I’ve got you
Keep moving”
Two breaths left
But we push through the same
[Chorus]
When the world runs out
We run in
Through the heat and the smoke and the din
Side by side
We don’t break
We just bend
This is the promise we made back then
Brother
Sister
If you fall
I’m the one who answers when you call
Through the flame
Through it all
We stand
We stand
We stand when others run
[Bridge]
At the end of the shift
When the engines cool
We count every helmet
We whisper every name
For the ones who gave more than they ever should have
We carry their courage in our veins (oh)
[Chorus]
When the world runs out
We run in
Through the heat and the smoke and the din
Side by side
We don’t break
We just bend
Hold the line for the ones we couldn’t defend
Brother
Sister
If you fall
I’m the one who answers when you call
Through the flame
Through it all
We stand
Yeah
We stand
We stand when others run

Style
Midtempo heartland rock with male vocals, steady kick and toms, warm electric guitars and organ pads. Verses stay close and intimate, with clean picked guitar and subtle bass; chorus opens with wide harmonies and ringing chords that feel like an open highway. Bridge pulls the band down to almost a whisper, then swells back with cymbal lifts and a soaring, wordless vocal line over the final hook., tribute
