[Verse 1]
You took the left side of the frame
I took the right
But we’re the same
Two little storms in the hallway light
Laughing too loud at 2 at night
Ginger fringe in your wild hair
You scratched your name on every chair (Scratcher)
I’d cover for you when you ran late
Two matching grins at the garden gate
[Chorus]
Aretha and Sara
Bookends on the shelf
Sisters forever
More than blood itself
Partners in crime
In trouble
In fun
If I had to choose again
You’d still be the one
Best friend
My anchor when life’s unfair
Aretha and Sara
I’m always there
[Verse 2]
You turned my tears into bad jokes
Stole my fries
Fixed my heart when it broke
We’d swear we’d move to the very same town
Make every stranger learn our sounds
You held my hand at the school gate
We shared one heart
Just different names
You take the punchlines
I take the blame
Either way
We win this game
[Chorus]
Aretha and Sara
Bookends on the shelf
Sisters forever
More than blood itself
Partners in crime
In trouble
In fun
If I had to choose again
You’d still be the one
Best friend
My anchor when life’s unfair
Aretha and Sara
I’m always there
[Bridge]
One suitcase
Two old tees
Your hoodie always looked better on me
From every “don’t tell” to every “I swear”
You start the stories
I finish them there (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
Aretha and Sara
Bookends on the shelf
Sisters forever
More than blood itself
Partners in crime
In trouble
In fun
If I had to choose again
You’d still be the one
Best friend
My answer to every prayer
Aretha and Sara
I’m always there
(Always there, always there)
