Danielle & Derek, Built To Last

[Verse 1]
Met in a corner at some old dive bar
Bad jokes
Good smiles
Talking till last call
She rolled her eyes
He tried too hard
Now they’re laughing at that night in every photo on the wall
[Chorus]
Danielle and Derek
Look at you two
Perfect kind of weird
Perfect kind of true
Hand in hand through the chaos and the cracks
Yeah
Danielle and Derek
You’re built to last
You’re built to last (oh yeah)
You’re built to last
[Verse 2]
Sunday coffee in their torn-up jeans
Burnt toast
Dance steps in a narrow kitchen floor
He spins her round
She steals his keys
They’re running late again
But somehow love’s on time once more
[Chorus]
Danielle and Derek
Look at you two
Perfect kind of wild
Perfect kind of you
Hand in hand through the chaos and the cracks
Yeah
Danielle and Derek
You’re built to last
You’re built to last
Through every storm
You’re built to last
[Bridge]
When the hard days hit
When the plans fall through
I’ve seen you hold the line
I’ve seen the best of you
Every fight
Every night
Just makes you stronger
If this is the road you’re on
I hope it runs much longer (hey!)
[Chorus]
Danielle and Derek
Look at you two
Perfect kind of brave
Perfect kind of true
Hand in hand through the chaos and the cracks
Yeah
Danielle and Derek
You’re built to last
You’re built to last
You’ve got that spark
You’re built to last
Even in the dark
Danielle and Derek
Look at you two
You’re built to last
And we believe in you

rock, Big sing-along rock anthem, male vocals, bright overdriven guitars and steady kick-snare groove. Verses stay in a mid-tempo stride with chiming rhythm guitar and warm bass; chorus opens wide with stacked gang vocals, crash cymbals, and a soaring lead line. Short guitar hook weaving between phrases, subtle tambourine on the choruses to lift the energy, final chorus modulates up a half-step for a triumphant closer.
