Prompt / Lyrics
Intro Watching the shadows stretch across my wall Echoes in the silence when I call Memories whisper through the dark tonight Trying to bring our childhood back to life ⸻ Verse 1 Once upon a time back in 2003 Summer nights felt like forever to me Laughing in the yard till the streetlights came Two kids dreaming with the same last name Grass stains, bikes laying in the road Talking about the places we would go Back then the world felt wild and free Just you and me against everything ⸻ Pre-Chorus Now the years feel colder every day And the past keeps slipping further away ⸻ Chorus Now you’re behind bars and I’m left with these scars Talking to the night, wondering where you are If you hear this song through the prison walls Just know your little brother still calls I’m counting the days till I see your face Trying to fill the silence you replaced If my voice reaches you from far away Hold on sister… don’t drift away ⸻ Verse 2 I remember crying on your shoulder that night Begging you to stay and make it right But the road you took pulled you away And nothing’s really been the same I know I wasn’t the best little brother Since that day I’ve done nothing but suffer Wish I told you I loved you more back then Before the world closed in again ⸻ Chorus Now you’re behind bars and I’m left with these scars Talking to the night, wondering where you are If you hear this song through the prison walls Just know your little brother still calls I’m counting the days till I see your face Trying to fill the silence you replaced If my voice reaches you from far away Hold on sister… don’t drift away ⸻ Bridge I swear I tried, I did everything I could I would’ve carried your pain if I could You were the only one who understood me Now I’m talking to memories Twenty-five years feels like a lifetime of rain But I’ll still be here calling your name ⸻ Final Chorus Once upon a time back in 2003 Two kids dreaming who we’d be Life got dark and pulled us apart But you’re still the beat in my heart If this song ever reaches you someday Just know I never walked away Until the day we reunite again Your little brother’s waiting till the end ⸻ Outro So if you hear this through the silence somehow Just know I’m still here now Once upon a time… It was you and me.
