Big Sister, Big Lighthouse

[Verse 1]
You held my hand
In that parking lot at midnight
Told me
"Breathe
You’re more than what they say"
They called it phase
You called it growing pains and daylight
Sat on the phone
Till the shaking went away
[Chorus]
So forget that crown they wanted on my head
I’m done chasing every word my parents said
If I make one person proud in this whole town
It’s you
Big sister
Yeah I won’t let you down
If I build one life that feels like it’s allowed
It’s for you
Big sister
I’ll make you proud
[Verse 2]
You patched my jeans
And my stories when they broke
Laughed so hard
Till the hurt turned into smoke
You skipped your plans
Just to sit and watch me crumble
Said
"We’ll stand
But it’s fine to fall and stumble"
[Chorus]
So forget that crown they wanted on my head
I’m done chasing every word my parents said
If I make one person proud in this whole town
It’s you
Big sister
Yeah I won’t let you down
If I build one life that feels like it’s allowed
It’s for you
Big sister
I’ll make you proud
[Bridge]
When they shut the door
You left yours wide open (oh)
When I swore I’m nothing
You swore I was chosen
If the whole world turns
You’re the one who stays
So every step I take
I’m saying your name
[Chorus]
So forget that crown they wanted on my head
I’m done chasing every word my parents said
If I make one person proud in this whole town
It’s you
Big sister
Yeah I won’t let you down
If I build one life that feels like it’s allowed
It’s for you
Big sister
I’ll make you proud

Warm indie pop with male vocals; clean electric guitar arpeggios over a steady mid-tempo groove, soft bass and tight kick. Verses stay intimate and close-mic'd; chorus lifts with stacked harmonies and a roomy snare. Subtle synth pads bloom in the bridge, then pull back to a final, vocal-forward hook that feels like a promise.
